“…Twitter is also widely adopted in the United States, but primarily utilized for promotional content rather than educational [ 11 ]. Previous research on hernia surgeons demonstrated that those who use #SoMe in their professional practice are more interested in sharing the speakers’ slides on #SoMe at conferences [ 12 ]. Mayol et al described the potential contributions of #SoMe to surgical research, including widening of international networks and keeping up to date with evolving surgical techniques [ 13 ].…”

Background: Digital and Social Media (#SoMe) platforms have revolutionized the way information is shared, classified and accessed among medical professionals worldwide. The aim of this study was to review the hashtags used on Twitter by @EuroHerniaS to provide a practical roadmap for easier social media utilization for hernia surgery stakeholders.Methods: The hashtags used in tweets and retweets of the @EuroHerniaS Twitter feed were collated since its foundation in November 2016.Results: The first hashtag used was #HerniaSurgery. Since foundation to July 2021, the @EuroHerniaS Twitter feed has used 90 separate hashtags. The number of new hashtags per year was increasing leading to the development of an online library. The increasing diversity of hernia related hashtags allows for the more detailed posting and searching of hernia related information on the #SoMe platform Twitter.Conclusion: The more detailed use of hashtags on Twitter is to be encouraged. Hernia surgeons can make use of them both when posting and reviewing posts to aid the categorization of posts.

“…One has to keep in mind that social media is not peer-reviewed nor curated, and, thus, liable to some types of negative influences. Not all may be willing to share their slides, preliminary data or outcomes on social media [18], thus a policy of steps forward with opportunities and considerations to threats may be useful to issue for users. Useful steps and tips from other stakeholders are already available and should be implemented in a structured fashion [1].…”

Introduction: Social media is increasingly used to share information with the potential for fast and wide reach. Data on use during surgical oncology conferences is limited. We aimed to monitor twitter usage during a surgical oncology conference to audit impact of activity. Methods: A prospective, time-restricted, observational study of twitter activity using the #ESSO38 hashtag in the week before and during the 38th ESSO conference (10e12 October 2018; Budapest, Hungary). Data on individual tweets and retweets, including date and tweeter or retweeter were collected using NodeXL, FollowTheHashtag, Twitonomy and TAGS. Results: The study period (10e13 October) documented 328 tweets by 58 tweeters with 1167 retweets, with a soaring activity and mentions during the conference days, with a potential reach at over 7.5 million. The nodal network of tweets, the most active tweeters and retweeters are presented as well as the most frequently used hashtags. The top 3 hashtags used were #ESSO38, #SoMe4Surgery# and #EYSAC. A positive influence on the @ESSOweb twitter handle was noted, with the numbers of followers growing from 1.5 K to over 1.8 K representing a 20% growth in just over a week. Conclusions: Activity on tweeter during the conference was considerable, with a potential for a wide reach beyond those attending the conference. A more structured approach to the use of twitter for future conferences may enhance experience, activity and reach.

“…Исследования показали, что большинство докладчиков довольны тем, что содержание их докладов распространяется другими врачами [19]. Тем не менее право ограничить это распространение остается как за докладчиками, так и за организаторами конференции [20,21].…”

Introduction. Medical conferences are a key source of new and relevant knowledge for practicing physicians. Physicians use social media to share this knowledge with their colleagues. As a result, there is a lot of discussion on social media about the topics covered in the scientific presentations. This initiative has some educational value, which is being actively explored. The discussions around such posts make ideas, insights, opinions and experiences of peer-colleagues easily available. They also immediately raise awareness of new clinical research and scientific data.Objective. We studied how often Russian physicians use available social networks (vrachirf.ru, doktornarabote.ru. vk.com) to share information from scientific conferences with their colleagues.Materials and мethods. We searched for posts using keywords related to medical conferences and selected among the search results the entries whose authors, as physicians, disclosed selected elements of the content of scientific presentations.Results. We identified 65 entries over the past 4–12 months where physicians shared facts and ideas presented at scientific conferences. Entries posted on professional physicians’ social networks with access restricted to lay public generated vigorous meaningful discussions, unlike posts on the mainstream social network vk.com.Conclusions. Doctors very rarely share on social media the facts and ideas presented at Russian scientific medical conferences. Physicians demonstrate significant interest in these posts and actively discuss them. Further study should reveal the educational potential of the described phenomenon and suggest the pathways to its effective utilization.
