The study aims to evaluate the quality of videos addressing thoracoscopic sympathectomy on YouTube® using the LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) criteria.
YouTube was searched using the following keyword: "thoracoscopic sympathectomy" on August 22, 2021. The first 50 videos were analyzed and classified for baseline characteristics and conformity to the LAP-VEGaS checklist.
Duration ranged from 19 s to 22 min. The mean number of likes was 14.8 (range 0-80). The mean number of dislikes was 2.5 (range 0-14). The mean number of comments was 8.5 (range 0-67). Nineteen videos did not meet our criteria and were excluded. Regarding the remaining 31 videos, none contained all 16 points of the LAP-VEGaS essential checklist (mean 5.4 points, range 2-14 points), with almost all neglecting preoperative information and outcomes. The mean percentage of conformity was 37% (range 12%-93%). The most viewed videos were not associated with higher conformity to LAP-VEGaS criteria showing only 4/16 points (25%).
The quality of videos addressing TS on YouTube®, based on the LAP-VEGaS checklist may be considered not acceptable. Experienced surgeons and surgeons in trainees should be aware of this when using it as a learning resource in their clinical practice.
本研究旨在使用腹腔镜手术视频教育指南(LAP-VEGaS)标准评估YouTube®上关于胸腔镜交感神经切除术视频的质量。
于2021年8月22日在YouTube上使用以下关键词进行搜索:“胸腔镜交感神经切除术”。对前50个视频进行分析,并根据基线特征和与LAP-VEGaS检查表的符合情况进行分类。
视频时长从19秒到22分钟不等。点赞数的平均值为14.8(范围为0 - 80)。点踩数的平均值为2.5(范围为0 - 14)。评论数的平均值为8.5(范围为0 - 67)。19个视频不符合我们的标准,被排除。对于其余31个视频,没有一个包含LAP-VEGaS基本检查表的所有16项内容(平均5.4项,范围为2 - 14项),几乎所有视频都忽略了术前信息和结果。符合率的平均值为37%(范围为12% - 93%)。观看次数最多的视频与LAP-VEGaS标准的符合度并不更高,仅显示4/16项(25%)。
根据LAP-VEGaS检查表,YouTube®上关于胸腔镜交感神经切除术的视频质量可能被认为是不可接受的。经验丰富的外科医生和实习外科医生在临床实践中将其用作学习资源时应意识到这一点。
