Background The internet has changed the way both physicians and patients search for health information. WebSurg® is a valuable source of information that informs surgeons about new technologies and techniques and aims to promote quality, safety, and patient-centered care. In this study, our aim is to evaluate the popularity, quality, transparency, and accuracy of videos about minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP). Materials and methods A total of 31 videos related to MIVAP returned by the WebSurg® search engine in response to the keywords "MIVAP", "video assisted parathyroidectomy'', and "minimally invasive parathyroidectomy'' were included in this study. Videos were evaluated in terms of time since upload, run time, country, academic degree, and the number of views and likes. The popularity of videos was determined by the video power index (VPI) formula. The DISCERN questionnaire score (DISCERNqs), global quality score (GQSc), and Journal of American Medical Association benchmark criteria (JAMABC) scoring systems were used to analyze WebSurg® videos for reliability and quality. Results The academic degree of the members was MD in 90.32% of uploaded videos. Forty-eight point thirty-eight percent (48.38%) of the videos were uploaded by members from France. There was no significant difference between the DISCERNqs, JAMABC, GQSc, and MIVAP scoring system (MIVAP-SS) scores in terms of academic degree and country. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the time since upload and the VPI score (r=-0.683, p<0.001). The run time was positively correlated with the DISCERNqs, JAMABC, GQSc, and MIVAP-SS scores (p=0.003, p=0.002, p=0.003, p<0.001, respectively). For the MIVAP-SS score, the Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation with VPI, DISCERNqs, JAMABC, and GQSc (p<0.05). Conclusion Videos about MIVAP are helpful for surgeons to learn the procedure step-by-step before the surgery they will be performing but still below the expected quality. It is recommended to use MIVAP-SS points, which is a novel scoring system, to ensure standardization and improve quality.
背景 互联网改变了医生和患者搜索健康信息的方式。WebSurg®是一个有价值的信息来源，它能让外科医生了解新技术和技术，并旨在促进质量、安全和以患者为中心的护理。在本研究中，我们的目的是评估关于微创视频辅助甲状旁腺切除术（MIVAP）的视频的受欢迎程度、质量、透明度和准确性。
材料和方法 本研究纳入了WebSurg®搜索引擎针对关键词“MIVAP”、“视频辅助甲状旁腺切除术”和“微创甲状旁腺切除术”返回的31个与MIVAP相关的视频。从上传时间、运行时间、国家、学术学位以及观看次数和点赞数等方面对视频进行评估。视频的受欢迎程度由视频功率指数（VPI）公式确定。使用DISCERN问卷评分（DISCERNqs）、全球质量评分（GQSc）和美国医学会基准标准（JAMABC）评分系统来分析WebSurg®视频的可靠性和质量。
结果 90.32%的上传视频中成员的学术学位为医学博士。48.38%的视频由法国成员上传。在学术学位和国家方面，DISCERNqs、JAMABC、GQSc和MIVAP评分系统（MIVAP-SS）得分之间没有显著差异。发现上传时间与VPI得分之间存在统计学显著的负相关（r=-0.683，p<0.001）。运行时间与DISCERNqs、JAMABC、GQSc和MIVAP-SS得分呈正相关（分别为p=0.003、p=0.002、p=0.003、p<0.001）。对于MIVAP-SS得分，Spearman相关分析表明与VPI、DISCERNqs、JAMABC和GQSc存在统计学显著的正相关（p<0.05）。
结论 关于MIVAP的视频有助于外科医生在即将进行的手术前逐步学习该手术，但质量仍低于预期。建议使用MIVAP-SS评分，这是一种新颖的评分系统，以确保标准化并提高质量。
