Abstract

BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate video clips of hypospadias surgery on YouTube and to assess their competence for basic steps of hypospadias surgery. METHODS The YouTube (http://www.youtube.com) was screened for videos of hypospadias surgery between 1 December 2018 and 20 December 2018. Videos were divided into three groups based on the subjective utility checklist scores as follows: highly compatible (Group 1; ≥7 points), moderately compatible (Group 2; 5-6 points), and less compatible (Group 3; ≤4 points). Groups were compared statistically. RESULTS A total of 100 videos were included in this study. The mean total score was 4.48 ± 1.97. There were 15 (15%) videos in Group 1, 42 (42%) in Group 2, and 43 (43%) in Group 3. There was a statistically significant difference in the total score, duration of videos, and like/dislike ratios among the groups (p<0.001, for all). There was a strong and significant correlation between the total scores and the step of glanuloplasty and skin closure (r: 0.805, p<0.001 and r: 0.770, p<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our study results suggest that the educational content of the videos of hypospadias surgery on YouTube is unsatisfactory. We believe that such videos must contain information regarding the surgical steps of glanuloplasty, skin closure, flap transposition, and urethroplasty and detailed information about the suture materials.

YouTube上的尿道下裂手术:有效吗?

背景本研究旨在评估YouTube上尿道下裂手术的视频片段，并评估他们对尿道下裂外科基本步骤的能力。方法YouTube(http://www.youtube.com)在2018年12月1日至2018年12日20日期间，播放了尿道下裂手术的视频。根据主观效用清单得分，视频分为三组：高度兼容（第1组；≥7分）、中度兼容（第2组；5-6分）和不太兼容（第3组；≤4分）。对各组进行统计学比较。结果本研究共纳入100个视频。平均总分为4.48±1.97。第一组有15个（15%）视频，第二组有42个（42%），第三组有43个（43%）。各组在总分、视频持续时间和喜欢/不喜欢比率方面存在统计学显著差异（p均<0.001）。总分与龟头成形术和皮肤闭合的步骤之间存在强烈且显著的相关性（分别为r:0.805，p<0.001和r:0.770，p<0.001）。结论我们的研究结果表明，YouTube上尿道下裂手术视频的教育内容不令人满意。我们认为，此类视频必须包含有关龟头成形术、皮肤闭合术、皮瓣移位术和尿道成形术的手术步骤的信息，以及有关缝合材料的详细信息。
