description Objectives: This study aims to comprehensively summarize the advancements and insights in simulation-based otolaryngology training, highlighting the growth trends, geographical distribution, institutional contributions, journal impacts, authorship patterns, reference co-citations, and keyword dynamics over the past two decades. Methods: A thorough literature review was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database, analyzing 316 articles published between 2004 and 2023. Data were processed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R to assess publication trends and key metrics across different categories. Results: An increasing publication trend was observed, predominantly featuring contributions from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The journal Laryngoscope emerged as a leading publication venue, while Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery exhibited a high impact. Key research themes included 3D modeling, virtual reality, and surgical education, reflecting evolving trends in otolaryngology training. Conclusions: This concise analysis underscores the significant growth and focal areas within otolaryngology simulation training over the past two decades and offers insights into future research directions and educational practices in this field.
