Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The mesh material in the application of the pelvic floor reconstructive surgery has given rise to more and more researchers' attention.
OBJECTIVE: To multivariately analyze the literature regarding the application of the mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction through China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and its analysis tool.
DESIGN: Bibliometric analysis.
DATA RETRIEVAL: A retrieval was performed for the literature regarding the application of the mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction, including obstetrics and gynecology, pelvic floor, reconstruction, mesh, polypropylene, gynemesh, prolift during 2002-01 and 2011-12 in CNKI. The retrieval results were analyzed, and the trends were described in words and graphics.
SELECTIVE CRITERIA: ①Articles on the application of the mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction. ②Articles on the application of gynemesh mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction. ③Articles on the application of prolift mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction. Exclusive criteria were included ①Articles unrelated the study of the application of the mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction. ②Duplication of research articles.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The literatures were analyzed by publication year, journal distribution, the source database, discipline distribution, institutional information and authors.
RESULTS: A total of 147 literatures regarding the application of the mesh in the female pelvic floor reconstruction were retrieved from CNKI database. The overall number of literature had an upward trend from 2002 to 2011. Chinese Journal of Practical Gynecology and Obstetrics and Maternal and Child Health Care of China published most papers in this field (n=6).
CONCLUSION: This paper provides a valuable reference for researchers to understand the overview and present situation of this field in order to set further research.
