Özet:

 Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate pediatric surgery dissertations included in the Higher Education Council dissertation database. Methods: A search was conducted in Turkeys Higher Education Council dissertation database using the keyword pediatric surgery to identify all dissertations published in the database between 2019 and 2023. The evaluation focused on dissertation topics. Results: A total of 120 dissertations were analyzed. The most common topics were related to the gastrointestinal system n37 and urology n30. Clinical studies showed an increasing trend over the years, rising from 53 in 2019 to 80 in 2022, before slightly decreasing to 72 in 2023. Experimental studies accounted for 47 of the studies in 2019 but declined to 20 in 2022, with a slight recovery to 28 in 2023 P0.242. Clinical studies dominated in most sections, particularly in traumatology 100, thoracic surgery 86, and general pediatric surgery 80. Experimental studies had higher proportions in gynecology 60 and urology 43 P0.090. The most common topics were related to appendicitis n9, esophageal atresia n8, anorectal malformations n7, hypospadias n7, and testicular conditions n7. Dissertation top five topics accounted for 32 of all topics. Conclusions: Pediatric surgery dissertations mainly centered on clinical studies, with a notable focus on gastrointestinal and urological topics. Appendicitis, esophageal atresia, and anorectal malformations were the most studied areas. Regenerative medicine was significantly underrepresented. Encouraging studies in regenerative medicine and multidisciplinary approaches could drive innovation and address gaps in pediatric surgery research.
