“…Piezoelectric materials have garnered significant attention across various fields in the past few decades. − In recent years, there has been a growing number of research papers focusing on the application of piezoelectric materials in the biomedical field, − and researchers who are just entering the field will face increasing difficulties in understanding the future direction. In contrast to literature review or meta-analysis methods, bibliometric analysis leverages visualization software such as VOS viewer, Bibliometrix, and HistCite to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing literature.…”

Piezoelectric materials have been extensively utilized in the field of biomedicine. Despite multiple studies reviewing the progress in biomedical piezoelectric materials, there is still a lack of research that provides an objective summary and analysis of research trends in this crucial field. Consequently, this study employs a range of bibliometric methods to comprehensively assess the development of piezoelectric material-related biomedical fields. The number of citations is a critical metric for gauging the scientific impact of an article within its field. This study aims to assess the application and potential of piezoelectric materials in the biomedical field through bibliometric analysis while providing scientific support for future research in this area.

“…Nevertheless, the suspicion of postoperative hearing damage in case of cochlear and stapes surgery makes piezosurgery not currently used for such procedures. In contrast, middle ear endoscopic surgery widely relies on piezoelectric devices because of some technical advantages over the classic otological drill in several surgical steps (18,19). For instance, transcanal atticotomy represents a fundamental step during endoscopic tympanoplasties for attic cholesteatoma, as it allows to gain optimal surgical control over the anterior and posterior epitympanum, the mastoid antrum, and the retrotympanum and to precisely follow the pathological sac from anterior to posterior.…”

Objective Atticotomy represents an essential surgical step within the management of attical cholesteatoma during endoscopic ear surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and functional results of an endoscopic atticotomy performed with piezosurgery, in terms of audiological outcomes and tissue's healing. Methods This is an observational retrospective study on patients with attical cholesteatoma who underwent endoscopic ear surgery with piezoelectric atticotomy and subsequent scutum reconstruction either with tragal cartilage or temporalis muscle fascia. Scutumplasty's status was evaluated via scheduled outpatient controls through an endoscopic check and classified as stable or unstable at least 10 months after surgery. A pre- and postoperative audiometric examination was performed in each patient. Results Eighty-four patients were enrolled. In 50 out of 84 patients (59.52%), an exclusive endoscopic procedure was performed, whereas in 34 patients (40.48%) a combined microscopic/endoscopicapproach was adopted. In 72 cases (85.71%), scutum's reconstruction appeared to be normally positioned, whereas 12 patients developed a retraction pocket, which was self-cleaning in 8 of them and non–self-cleaning in the remaining 4. In 17 patients, a slight sensorineural hearing loss (between 5 and 15 dBHL) was observed, and in 2 patients, the loss was greater than 15 dBHL. Overall, no significative differences between pre- and postoperative pure-tone average bone thresholds resulted (p = 0.4983), though a mild significant hearing deterioration was detected by the specific analysis at 4000 Hz (p = 0.0291). Conclusion Piezosurgery represents an extremely useful tool in performing atticotomy during endoscopic tympanoplasties. Our data seem to support the safety of its usage in this specific step, as it did not lead to any significant sensorineural damage on overall pure-tone average. Moreover, satisfactory tissue healing in regard to scutum reconstruction was observed.
