Surgical Research in Colombia Part 1

Global surgery has become the undisputed starting point for addressing a myriad of problems in surgery today. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly evaluate the scientific productivity in surgery, its behavior, validity and impact. In Latin America, specifically in Colombia, there are no studies that have analyzed this production. A retrospective cross-sectional bibliometric study was carried out, in which the Colombian Ministry of Science database was consulted with the validated results up to July 2021. In the search section for research groups, the keyword "Surgery" was used, and all associated Groups in Latin America and the Caribbean(platform where the information of the research groups can be found) and their registered products were reviewed
