September 2024 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This bibliometric review evaluates 260 significant publications in hair transplantation, focusing on the 50 most cited, which were cited a total of 1,341 times.

The United States, particularly institutions like Cornell and Columbia University, leads in impactful research. Despite advancements, there is a lack of high-level evidence, with only 10% of top articles providing Level II evidence and none offering Level I. The review underscores the importance of FUE and suggests it will remain a focal point in future research, while emphasizing the need for more high-level evidence-based studies.
