Abstract BACKGROUND Despite the increasing number of studies published worldwide focusing on inguinal hernia, a major condition in the surgical field that affects the quality of life of many patients, a bibliometric study on inguinal hernia is yet to be conducted. The present study aimed to analyze the scientific articles published on inguinal hernia using statistical methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Articles published between 1980 and 2021 on inguinal hernia were downloaded from the Web of Science database and analyzed using statistical methods. RESULTS A total of 11 761 publications were found. The top 5 contributors to the literature were the United States (n=2109, 27%), Germany (563, 6.7%), United Kingdom (595, 5.7%), Turkey (415, 5.3%), and Japan (388, 4.9%). The top 3 most influential journals by average number of citations per article were Annals of Surgery (citations: 67.4), British Journal of Surgery (citations: 49.9), and Surgical Clinics of North America (citations: 43.2). CONCLUSIONS In the current comprehensive bibliometric study on inguinal hernia, which has demonstrated an upward trend in the number of articles published recently, we present a summary of 7810 articles published from 1980 to 2021. According to the results of the analysis conducted to identify trending topics, the keywords studied in recent years are believed to include pediatric, outcomes, minimally invasive surgery, robotic, incisional hernia, umbilical hernia, chronic pain, obesity, bariatric surgery, NSQIP, seroma, surgical site infection, abdominal wall reconstruction, ventral hernia repair, and hiatal hernia repair.
