Quality of Information in YouTube Videos on Penis Enlargement Surgery
Background: An increasing number of patients and their aesthetic curiosity are causing the online questioning of penis enlargement surgery (PES). Although there is a wealth of healthcare information about PES on the internet, the quality of PES-related information on YouTube, the most visited online video streaming service, has not fully known. It is aimed to evaluate the quality of information about PES in YouTube videos. Materials and Methods: In January 2021, we cross-sectionally performed YouTube search using the keywords "penis enlargement surgery", "penis lengthening surgery", or "penis thickening surgery". We sorted the videos as reliability in terms of containing scientifically proven information by 1 urologist and 1 plastic surgeon. Irrelevant, non-Turkish, and silent videos were not included. Video demographics were analyzed based on the quality and source of the video. A 5-point global quality scale, a 5-point reliability (DISCERN) tool, kappa statistic, the intraclass correlation coefficient, and descriptive statistics in the form of proportions and percentages were used. Results: A total of one-hundred PES videos published on YouTube between 2015-2021 were searched. Thirty-nine of these videos were removed due to duplicate, irrelevant, lack of sound or misleading information. Deceptive videos had a significantly higher number of likes than useful videos. On the other hand, useful videos had significantly more views than misleading videos. Useful videos had a higher DISCERN score compared to misleading videos. The fact that the uploader was sourced by professionals and doctors working at universities significantly contributed to the usefulness of the videos. Conclusion: As searching for information about PES on YouTube, patients are exposed to low-quality and confusing videos. Complexity in the number of views and likes could make accessing the informative PES video difficult. It may be recommended that patients prefer PES videos created by professionals.
期刊介绍：
''European Surgical Research'' features original clinical and experimental papers, condensed reviews of new knowledge relevant to surgical research, and short technical notes serving the information needs of investigators in various fields of operative medicine. Coverage includes surgery, surgical pathophysiology, drug usage, and new surgical techniques. Special consideration is given to information on the use of animal models, physiological and biological methods as well as biophysical measuring and recording systems. The journal is of particular value for workers interested in pathophysiologic concepts, new techniques and in how these can be introduced into clinical work or applied when critical decisions are made concerning the use of new procedures or drugs.
