Abstract

Dermatologic surgery research has expanded significantly, but comprehensive analysis of recent publication trends is needed to guide future priorities. The aim of this study was to analyze publication trends in dermatologic surgery from 2014 to 2024, examining volume, article types, geographic distribution, and journal outlets. A PubMed search identified publications using "dermatology" and "surgery," filtered for English-language human studies including clinical trials, letters, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and systematic reviews. Linear regression evaluated temporal trends (p < .05). Among 8,245 publications across 696 journals, volume peaked at 1,078 articles in 2020 before declining to 572 in 2023. Meta-analyses, RCTs, and systematic reviews increased significantly, with strong correlations for meta-analyses (R2 = 76.3%) and systematic reviews (R2 = 90.2%). Top journals included Dermatologic Surgery (n = 1,390), JEADV (n = 1,294), and JAAD (n = 1,224). Research spanned 58 countries, led by the United States. Dermatologic surgery shows robust growth in evidence-based research, although postpandemic declines and geographic disparities warrant attention to sustain momentum and global collaboration.
