“…Several studies have demonstrated that YouTube videos often lack key surgical steps, present biased information or occasionally contain some marketing component. 10–13 Worse still, as noted in an analysis of YouTube videos illustrating hernia repair techniques by Huynh et al, suboptimal surgical techniques or unsafe maneuvers may be demonstrated. 9 In the scant available literature regarding YouTube videos demonstrating urological surgery, Crisostomo-Wynne et al noted that the YouTube videos of robotic prostatectomy with the highest number of views scored as well or better than videos from curated sources using the Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills criteria.…”

“…8 While the use of videos for preparation seems inevitable and may prove beneficial, the quality and accuracy of YouTube videos have been questioned in several studies. 9–13 The overall aim of this study is to assess the degree to which urology trainees across the United States utilize video sources for surgical preparation, what sources are used and how these are employed in combination with traditional print materials.…”

Introduction:We investigate urology trainee preparation for surgical procedures by querying type and degree of video sources used and combination with traditional print materials for preparation of surgical procedures.Methods: An Institutional Review Board-approved 13-question REDCapÒ survey was distributed to 145 American College of Graduate Medical Education-accredited urology residency programs. Social media were also used to recruit participants. Results were collected anonymously and analyzed using ExcelÒ.Results: A total of 108 residents completed the survey. The majority (87%) reported using videos for surgical preparation including, YouTube (93%), American Urological Association (AUA) Core Curriculum videos (84%) and institutional or attending-specific videos (46%). Video selection was based on quality (81%), length (58%) and the site of video creation (37%). Video preparation was reported predominantly for minimally invasive surgery (95%), subspecialty procedures (81%) and open procedures (75%). The most common print sources reported include Hinman's Atlas of Urologic Surgery (90%), Campbell-Walsh-Wein Urology (75%) and the AUA Core Curriculum (70%). When asked to rank their overall top 3 sources, 25% of residents reported YouTube as their primary source and 58% included it in their top 3. Only 24% of residents reported being aware of the AUA YouTube channel, while 77% were aware of the video section of the AUA Core Curriculum.Conclusions: Urology residents use video resources to prepare for surgical cases, with a heavy reliance on YouTube. AUA-curated video sources should be highlighted in the resident curriculum as the quality and educational content of YouTube videos are variable.

“…Although there is a platform with many surgical training videos, YouTube is the preferred first place. This may also contribute positively to medical education (2,3). It is our belief that increasing the number of videos supporting the surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis without time limitation is therefore important in accessing the right information and providing the correct guidance of the patients on the way to treatment.…”

“…Data such as who uploaded the videos (health professional, patient experience, advertisement, health organization), which treatment plan it contained (surgery, non-surgical options, anti-treatment, all), the upload date, country of upload, duration, number of times watched and rating were recorded. Since the popularity of YouTube videos within the platform increases with the number of comments, likes and views rather than the value of the content, the video power index (VPI; like rate × view rate/100) was used to evaluate the popularity of the videos in the study (3,7).…”

“…This has led to an increase in the use of the internet by health professionals for the purpose of education and information sharing. In a study in 2020, it was reported that YouTube is the most used social media platform worldwide (2,3).While easy to upload videos, being free, and the popularity of the platform make YouTube stand out, the unsupervised publishing of videos and the expansion of the domain according to likes and comments are among its disadvantages.

Background: YouTube is one of the most used information sources. Hyperhidrosis is a disease that needs treatment mostly due to social complaints. Methods: Search titles ‘Hand sweating, Excessive sweating, Armpit sweating, and Hyperhidrosis’ were searched for separately on YouTube. A total of 400 videos, consisting of 100 under each title, were evaluated. Data such as who uploaded the video, which treatment plan it contained, the upload date, country of upload, duration, number of times watched, and rating were recorded. The Video Power index (VPI) was used to evaluate the popularity of the videos in the study. Results: The number of views, number of likes, and VPI of the video group with a duration of 232 s or more were found to be significantly higher than the video group with a shorter duration (P =0.001, P =0.000, and P = 0.000). In commercial videos, the rate of videos featuring non-surgical treatment was found to be the highest at92.1%. It was found that the videos containing surgical treatment were older than the videos containing non-surgical treatment (P =0.028). Conclusion: The internet is an important source of information in diseases such as hyperhidrosis that cause social dysfunction in young patients and the treatment decision is determined entirely by the level of complaint the patient feels. On the YouTube platform, which is one of these sources of information, it was seen that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, which is the definitive and permanent treatment of hyperhidrosis, has started to lose its place to alternative methods in recent years.
