Abstract
Purpose of review: In this study, we aimed to review the common social media (SoMe) apps used and how they have impacted the practice and exchange of information, as well as the challenges of using SoMe in urology.
Recent findings: SoMe has become increasingly popular in the urology community. Lay users often turn to SoMe to learn about urological health and share their own experiences, while medical professionals may use it for career development, networking, education, and research purposes.
Summary: It is important to recognize the power of SoMe and to use it responsibly and ethically, particularly given the potential risks of encountering low-quality or misleading information.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of surgery. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those for whom the elucidation of novel surgical techniques and related technologies is essential. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include bariatric surgery; CT screening; endovascular treatment of complex vasculopathies; minimally invasive surgery; natural orifice surgery; and transplantation.
