ÖZET
Amaç: Son yıllarda kozmetik cerrahi prosedürleri giderek daha popüler hâle gelmiştir. Cerrahiye karar vermede internetin önemli bir rol oynadığı vurgulanmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmada plastik, estetik ve kozmetik cerrahi uygulanan hastaların karar verme sürecinde internet kullanma durumlarına yönelik mevcut araştırmaların eğilimlerini ve öne çıkanlarını belirlemek amacıyla bibliyometrik analiz yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Veriler için ''Web of Science Core Collection'' veri tabanı kullanılmış ve ileri düzey tarama yapılmıştır. Yayın sayıları, en çok yayın yapan dergiler, ülkeler, kurumlar, yazarlar ve anahtar kelimeler ''VOSviewer'' programı aracılığıyla görselleştirilmiştir. Analiz için ''R Studio'' programı kullanılmıştır. Erken erişim, bildiri ve kitap analize dâhil edilmemiştir. Bulgular: 1999-2023 yılları arasında 153 çalışma analize dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışmaların %93,46'sının araştırma makalesi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Otuz dokuz farklı ülkedeki araştırmacılar tarafından üretilen çalışmalar 77 çeşitli dergide yayımlanmıştır. En çok yayın üreten ülkenin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve kurumun Stanford Üniversitesi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. ''Journal of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery'' en fazla yayın yapan dergi olarak bulunmuştur. ''Breast reconstruction'', ''breast cancer'', ''social media'', ''plastic surgery'', ''surgery'' en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimelerdir. Sonuç: Çalışmada; plastik, estetik ve kozmetik cerrahi uygulanacak hastaların karar verme sürecinde internet kullanma durumlarına yönelik yaklaşık 25 yıllık mevcut araştırmaların bibliyometrik analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular alana yönelik kapsamlı bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Klinisyenlere ve araştırmacılara yol gösterici olması beklenmektedir.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Cosmetic surgery procedures have become increasingly popular in recent years. It is emphasized that the internet plays an important role in deciding on surgery. For this reason, in the study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to determine the trends and highlights of existing research on the internet usage in the decision-making process of patients undergoing plastic, aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. Material and Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection database was used for the data and advanced scanning was performed. Numbers of publications, most published journals, countries, institutions, authors and keywords were visualized through the VOSviewer program. R Studio program was used for analysis. Book chapters, early Access and proceedings paper are not included in the analysis. Results: Between 1999 and 2023, 153 studies were included in the analysis. It was determined that 93.46% of the studies were research articles. Studies produced by researchers in 39 different countries have been published in 77 various journals. It has been determined that the country that produces the most publications is the United States and the institution is Stanford University. Journal of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery was found to be the journal with the most publications. ''Breast reconstruction'', ''breast cancer'', ''social media'', ''plastic surgery'', ''surgery'' are the most frequently used keywords. Conclusion: In the study, a bibliometric analysis of approximately 25 years of existing research on the internet usage status of patients who will undergo plastic, aesthetic and cosmetic surgery in the decision-making process was conducted. The findings provide a comprehensive perspective on the field. It is expected to guide clinicians and researchers.
