It involved a literature search of the Scopus database for original articles with the query terms \u201cotoplasty\u201d and \u201cpinnaplasty,\u201d without restricting publication dates or selecting journals in the database. The top 100 articles with the highest citations were reviewed. Bibliometric analysis was performed with the Scimago journal impact factor. The screening was done following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to extract the top 100 most-cited articles in otoplasty. We excluded articles not focused on otoplasty, those involving other surgical procedures, and non-English articles. With Scopus and manual screening, we performed citation analysis of selected articles. Mean values were calculated for the number of citations and citations per year. Of the 951 studies identified, 100 (10.5%) were analyzed in detail. The studies were published between 1941 and 2024, with a mean of 36 \u00b1 23.7 citations per paper. The journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reported the highest number (23%, n = 23) of articles, followed by the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery with 13% (n = 13) articles. The highest number of articles originated from the United States (38%, n = 38), followed by the United Kingdom (15%, n = 15). Our bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the landscape of otoplasty research, highlighting key publications, authors, and journals. This study contributes to the understanding of the evolution and impact of otoplasty literature, laying the groundwork for further research and innovation in this field.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence: 3<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p\/>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/asj\/sjae157","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]],"date-time":"2024-07-18T14:05:52Z","timestamp":1721311552000},"page":"NP762-NP768","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Bibliometric Analysis of the 100 Most-Cited Articles on Otoplasty"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Fizzah","family":"Arif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saif ur","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zenab","family":"Shahzad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Fazlur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Safdar Ali","family":"Shaikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1001\/jamafacial.2015.0783","article-title":"Treatment of prominent ears and otoplasty: a contemporary review","volume":"17","author":"Pawar","year":"2015","journal-title":"JAMA Facial Plast Surg"},{"issue":"6","key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"374","DOI":"10.3928\/0090-4481-19990601-09","article-title":"The pediatrician's role in caring for patients with congenital microtia and atresia","volume":"28","author":"Brent","year":"1999","journal-title":"Pediatr Ann"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-196944020-00007","article-title":"Correction of the principal deformities causing protruding ears","volume":"44","author":"Spira","year":"1969","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"issue":"4","key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60e","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000156218.93855.C9","article-title":"Otoplasty","volume":"115","author":"Janis","year":"2005","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"issue":"4","key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1191","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181e617bb","article-title":"Ear molding in newborn infants with auricular deformities","volume":"126","author":"Byrd","year":"2010","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B6","volume-title":"Die Operative Chirurgie","author":"Dieffenbach","year":"1845"},{"key":"2024101511550656400_sjae157-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01575489","article-title":"A classic reprint: An operation for prominence of the auricles (with two wood-cuts).
