“…Jyot et al analyzed the traffic on their surgical educational website which is aimed at trainees. [ 24 ] They reported over 6000 visits by 257 users during a time interval of 18 months and an average length of visit of 14 minutes. However, their setting is not entirely comparable, since it contains more material and videos and is aimed at trainees and not at medical students.…”

Medical information websites are usually targeted toward patients, physicians, and medical students. Most of the latest studies researched the usability of such websites. However, reports on user numbers and behavior are rare. The goal of our study is to analyze the utility of a website of a large tertiary referral center in ophthalmology in terms of various target audiences (patients, applicants, medical students, referring ophthalmologists). The web access data from our institutional website was assessed with Google Analytics. Data collection started in 2016. From 2016 to 2018, we counted a total of 763,942 page views. The overall number of users dropped from 81,572 to 67,740. This drop's onset correlates with a change in the website structure. All target audience pages received constant traffic from 2016 to 2019, with the patients’ and doctors’ sites attracting the most traffic. The pages for medical students and job applicants, although not viewed often, revealed a long session duration. Our website is used by all our target audiences. The behavior and the user numbers of each target group differ. Changes to a website's structure can influence the number of users and their behavior. It is not possible to make a direct comparison to other institutions’ websites as there are so few similar reports available. By adding more parameters to the analytics profile in a prospective setting, more detailed analyses of user behavior may be possible in the future.

“…The results of the systematic search and screening are outlined in the PRISMA diagram (Figure 1). With 17 publications meeting the inclusion criteria for this review (Table 1), of which 70% were from the United States of America (n=12) [13,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], 12% were from Switzerland (n=2), [36,37], and single studies from Australia [38], United Kingdom [39] and Canada [40]. Sixteen (16) studies were initiated by medical practitionerled teams [13,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][36][37][38][39][40], with one study from a nurse-led team [35].…”

Purpose To present social media (SoMe) platforms for surgeons, how these are used, with what impact, and their roles for research communication. Methods A narrative review based on a literature search regarding social media use, of studies and findings pertaining to surgical disciplines, and the authors’ own experience. Results Several social networking platforms for surgeons are presented to the reader. The more frequently used, i.e., Twitter, is presented with details of opportunities, specific fora for communication, presenting tips for effective use, and also some caveats to use. Details of how the surgical community evolved through the use of the hashtag #SoMe4Surgery are presented. The impact on gender diversity in surgery through important hashtags (from #ILookLikeASurgeon to #MedBikini) is discussed. Practical tips on generating tweets and use of visual abstracts are presented, with influence on post-production distribution of journal articles through “tweetorials” and “tweetchats.” Findings from seminal studies on SoMe and the impact on traditional metrics (regular citations) and alternative metrics (Altmetrics, including tweets, retweets, news outlet mentions) are presented. Some concerns on misuse and SoMe caveats are discussed. Conclusion Over the last two decades, social media has had a huge impact on science dissemination, journal article discussions, and presentation of conference news. Immediate and real-time presentation of studies, articles, or presentations has flattened hierarchy for participation, debate, and engagement. Surgeons should learn how to use novel communication technology to advance the field and further professional and public interaction.
