ReviewGrowing trend of China's contribution to the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery: a 10-year study of the literature.
In the past decade, plastic and reconstructive surgery in China has achieved great advances. However, the scientific publications in plastic and reconstructive surgery in the major regions of China-Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are unknown. We therefore intended to reveal the contribution of articles from Chinese authors to the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. ⋯ The number of articles published from Chinese authors increased markedly from 2000 to 2009, particularly from Mainland China, since 2004.
