| description | Purpose: Overweight and obesity are pose health risks. First-line treatments for obesity include diet therapy, physical activity, behavior modification, and medication use. In cases where these methods fail, the surgical option comes to the fore in people's struggle
against obesity. The subject of obesity surgery has shown a significant change and development in the light of technological developments. With this study prepared in this context, the thematic development of the "bariatric surgery" subject was visualized to present
a holistic perspective by examining the qualified studies published on the subject.
Materials and Methods: The data of the articles included in the analysis in the study were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS)
Core Collection database. In this study, 9776 articles were reached between 1990-2020 and SciMAT and Vosviewer programs were
used to analyze the data. The research findings were evaluated with strategic diagrams, thematic networks, overlap maps, thematic
development maps, science mapping and bibliometric analysis.
Results: It was observed that the number of published articles increased gradually in 2001 and after. Most articles were published by
the USA, followed by France, Italy and Spain. It was seen that the articles were mostly published in English, German and Spanish. It
was also determined that the total number of citations of the examined articles was 199.761 and the h-index value was 141.
Conclusion: This study emphasizes the fact that bariatric surgery showed much improvement between 1990-2020. The dynamics of
this development were studied using science mapping techniques.
