Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Online video hosting websites such as YouTube have been increasingly used by medical institutions to spread information about new and exciting topics. However, due to the large number of videos uploaded daily and the lack of peer review, few attempts have been made to assess the quantity and quality of information that is uploaded on YouTube. For this study, our team assessed the available content on the transoral robotic surgery (TORS) procedure.
METHODS: A qualitative case study model was employed. Videos related to TORS were collected using a unified search protocol. Each video was then analyzed, and metrics of the following data points were collected: views, likes, comments, upload date, length of video, author type, author, and region of origin. Each dataset was analyzed by two distinct authors, and interrater reliability was calculated. Quantitative and qualitative statistics were curated.
RESULTS: A total of 124 videos were analyzed for this review. The breakdown of videos was as follows: 15.32% (19) in the educational for patients category, 16.94% (21) in the educational for trainees category, 30.65% (38) in the procedural overview category, 8.87% (11) in the patient experience (PE) category, 10.48% (13) in the promotional category, 12.10% (15) in the other category, and 5.65% (7) in the irrelevant (IR) category. The total number of views across all videos analyzed was 2,589,561. The total number of likes was 14,827, and the total number of comments was 2,606. The average video length was 8.63 minutes. The most viewed category was the PE category at 1,014,738 and the most liked at 1,714. The least viewed category was IR at 21,082. The PE category had the most engagement based on combined comments and likes. The most watched video, with 774,916 views, was in the PE category under the \"TORS for Thyroidectomy\" search term and was titled \"Thyroid Surgery (Thyroidectomy).\"
CONCLUSIONS: As the prevalence of online videos regarding medical devices, procedures, and treatments increases, patients and trainees alike will look toward resources such as YouTube to augment their understanding. Patients, providers, and medical education platforms should take heed of the promise and pitfalls of medical content on YouTube.

摘要：
背景：诸如YouTube之类的在线视频托管网站已被医疗机构越来越多地用于传播有关新的和令人兴奋的主题的信息。然而,由于每天上传的大量视频和缺乏同行评审，我们很少尝试评估在YouTube上上传的信息的数量和质量。对于这项研究，我们的团队评估了经口机器人手术(TORS)程序的现有内容.
方法：采用定性案例研究模型。使用统一的搜索协议收集与TORS相关的视频。然后分析了每个视频，并收集了以下数据点的指标：视图，喜欢,注释,上传日期,视频长度,作者类型,作者,和原产地。每个数据集由两个不同的作者分析，并计算了评分者间的可靠性。编制了定量和定性统计数据。
结果：本综述共分析了124个视频。视频分类如下：15.32％（19）在患者教育类别中，16.94%(21)在受训人员教育类别中，程序概述类别中的30.65%(38)，8.87％（11）在患者经验（PE）类别中，在促销类别中占10.48%（13），12.10%（15）在其他类别中，在无关(IR)类别中占5.65%(7)。分析的所有视频的总观看次数为2,589,561次。喜欢的总数为14,827，评论的总数为2,606。平均视频长度为8.63分钟。最受关注的类别是PE类别，为1,014,738，最受欢迎的类别为1,714。观看次数最少的类别是IR，为21,082。基于综合评论和喜欢，PE类别的参与度最高。观看次数最多的视频,774,916次观看,在“甲状腺切除术的TORS”搜索词下的PE类别中，标题为“甲状腺手术（甲状腺切除术）”。\"
结论：随着有关医疗设备的在线视频的普及，程序,治疗增加，患者和受训者都会关注YouTube等资源，以增强他们的理解。患者,提供者,医学教育平台应该注意YouTube上医疗内容的承诺和陷阱。
