Abstract (original English)

Introduction This bibliometric review aims to assess the impact of significant publications within the field of hair transplantation. Citation counts will serve as a primary influence indicator. Methods An exhaustive search was conducted using Clarivate's Web of Science database, yielding 260 publications related to hair transplantation. These were evaluated and sorted based on citations, narrowing down to the 50 most highly cited works for analysis. Parameters including citation density, authorship, institutional affiliations, country of origin, year of publication, article topic, and the level of evidence for each publication were obtained. Results Analyzed publications were cited a total of 1341 times. Authorship analysis revealed that the most significant contributors regarding hair transplantation were Bernstein and Rassman. We also identified the leading institutions affiliated with these works, highlighting the primary academic and research centers driving the field. Geographical analysis exhibited the US' dominance in producing impactful publications. Most publications were also classified within Level IV and Level V according to the Oxford Levels of Evidence system. Conclusion This review provides a comprehensive snapshot of the pivotal publications shaping hair transplantation. Our findings underscore significant contributions within this field and may assist research
