This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric overview of the global research landscape concerning venous thromboembolism (VTE) following cholecystectomy. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science (WoS) database. A search performed on July 23, 2025, identified articles related to thrombosis following cholecystectomy using the terms Cholecystectomy AND (“Venous thrombosis” OR “Venous thromboembolism” OR “Vein thrombosis” OR “Vein thromboembolism”) in all fields. No time restrictions were applied. After excluding duplicate records, non-English publications, and unrelated articles, 144 studies were included in the final analysis. Bibliometric mapping was performed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer 1.6.20, and trend forecasting was conducted using Python 3.13.3. Descriptive statistics (n, %) were used to summarize the data. Among the 292 initially identified articles, 144 met the inclusion criteria. Publications in this field have steadily increased since the 1990s, reaching a peak in 2023 (n = 9), with projections indicating continued growth by 2030. The USA was the most prolific contributor (25.7%), followed by China, Japan, Sweden, and Australia. The most productive institution was Uppsala Hospital. The most frequently used keywords were “laparoscopic cholecystectomy” and “cholecystectomy.” The journals Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques and Surgical Endoscopy-Ultrasound and Interventional Techniques were the two journals with the most articles. The most cited article was by Beebe DS et al. (1993), receiving 112 citations. This study reveals a growing research interest in venous thromboembolism following cholecystectomy, particularly in countries with advanced healthcare infrastructures where this clinical condition is more prominently addressed in the scientific literature.
