Declining or Waning
- Traditional Open Surgical Techniques:
There has been a noticeable reduction in studies solely focused on traditional open surgical methods as the field increasingly embraces minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. - Basic Experimental Studies:
Research that primarily focuses on basic experimental models, without direct clinical application, appears to be declining in favor of studies that demonstrate clear clinical relevance and outcomes. - Single-Center Studies:
The prevalence of single-center studies is decreasing, with a growing preference for multi-institutional collaborations that provide broader insights and more robust data. - Descriptive Studies with Limited Clinical Implications:
There is a waning interest in purely descriptive studies that do not contribute to clinical practice improvements or new surgical techniques, reflecting a shift towards more impactful research. - Aging and Geriatric Surgery:
While important, the focus on aging populations within thoracic and cardiovascular surgery seems to be diminishing, possibly overshadowed by the rise of studies on innovative surgical techniques and technologies.
