Abstract
Introduction

Pancreatic pathology is a constant multidisciplinary challenge. It is a growing pathology and one of the main research topics. The aim of the study is to analyse the current situation in Spain in this field from a bibliometric perspective.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines, utilizing the PubMed/Medline and sCIELO databases. The search strategy included the terms: ‘(pancreas OR pancreatectomy) AND surgery AND Spain.’ The publication period spanned from January 2019 to March 2024. Our inclusion criteria specified any article, in any language, where at least one participant was a surgeon in a hospital in Spain, and that had an impact factor (IF).

Results

The search yielded 522 citations, of which 133 articles were selected after applying our inclusion and exclusion criteria. The trend over time indicates a progressive increase in publications. Notably, 36.1% of the articles were published in Q1 journals, while 35.3% appeared in Q3 journals, with a mean impact factor of 4.07. Spanish authors accounted for 63.2% of publications. The most common types of articles were retrospective studies, case reports, and systematic reviews, with 35.3% being international multicenter studies. Key topics addressed included minimally invasive approaches, surgical techniques, and postoperative management. The journal Cirugía Española (Q3) published the highest number of papers (20.3%).

Conclusion

In recent years, Spain has experienced a significant increase in publications related to pancreatic surgery. However, when compared to leading countries in this field, the number of randomised clinical trials remains low.
