The use of video in surgical education and training is an innovative means to teach and expose learners to surgical procedures. The accessibility of YouTube provides a favourable platform for educational content; however, the current lack of peer review may mean that content is lacking or inaccurate.
We reviewed articles that examined the quality of videos describing surgical procedures, and especially those found on the sharing platform "YouTube". In particular, studies investigating videos for their benefit to surgical trainees were included.
A literature review was performed to determine the educational quality of surgical videos found on YouTube.
Articles were included, which reviewed the quality of videos describing surgical procedures, their accuracy, and their utility for surgical trainees to complement traditional surgical education.
The studies reviewed suggested that there is a lack of comprehensive material currently found on YouTube across multiple surgical disciplines. However, the popularity of YouTube among surgical trainees suggests that it is in the interest of surgical colleges and surgical educators to participate in sharing videos on this platform.
YouTube videos are inevitably used as supplementary tools in surgical education. To harness the popularity and accessibility of YouTube for educational purposes, a peer-reviewed YouTube video library may be necessary.
在外科教育和培训中使用视频是一种创新的教学手段，可以让学习者接触到外科手术。YouTube 的普及为教育内容提供了一个有利的平台；然而，目前缺乏同行评审可能意味着内容缺乏或不准确。
我们回顾了检查描述外科手术视频质量的文章，特别是那些在共享平台“YouTube”上找到的视频。特别包括了研究调查视频对外科学员的益处的文章。
进行了文献回顾，以确定在 YouTube 上找到的外科手术视频的教育质量。
纳入了审查描述外科手术视频质量、准确性以及对补充传统外科教育的外科学员实用性的文章。
回顾的研究表明，目前在多个外科学科中，YouTube 上缺乏全面的材料。然而，YouTube 在外科学员中的流行程度表明，外科学院和外科教育者有兴趣在这个平台上分享视频。
YouTube 视频不可避免地被用作外科教育的辅助工具。为了利用 YouTube 的普及性和可访问性进行教育目的，可能需要一个经过同行评审的 YouTube 视频库。
