“…Hinman's Atlas of Urologic Surgery was by far the most utilized source, with 43% (45) reporting it as their top source and 80% (83) including it in their top 3. Campbell-Walsh-Wein Urology and the AUA Core Curriculum were utilized nearly equivalently as a top source for 8% (8) and 9% (9), and in the top 3 for 38% (40) and 38% (39), respectively. Interestingly, while 75% (81) of residents reported that they were aware the AUA Core Curriculum contains a video section, only 23% (25) of residents were aware of the AUA YouTube channel.…”

“…10–13 Worse still, as noted in an analysis of YouTube videos illustrating hernia repair techniques by Huynh et al, suboptimal surgical techniques or unsafe maneuvers may be demonstrated. 9 In the scant available literature regarding YouTube videos demonstrating urological surgery, Crisostomo-Wynne et al noted that the YouTube videos of robotic prostatectomy with the highest number of views scored as well or better than videos from curated sources using the Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills criteria. 18 The authors suggest that this may be a form of video selection via crowdsourcing.…”

“…8 While the use of videos for preparation seems inevitable and may prove beneficial, the quality and accuracy of YouTube videos have been questioned in several studies. 9–13 The overall aim of this study is to assess the degree to which urology trainees across the United States utilize video sources for surgical preparation, what sources are used and how these are employed in combination with traditional print materials.…”

Introduction:We investigate urology trainee preparation for surgical procedures by querying type and degree of video sources used and combination with traditional print materials for preparation of surgical procedures.Methods: An Institutional Review Board-approved 13-question REDCapÒ survey was distributed to 145 American College of Graduate Medical Education-accredited urology residency programs. Social media were also used to recruit participants. Results were collected anonymously and analyzed using ExcelÒ.Results: A total of 108 residents completed the survey. The majority (87%) reported using videos for surgical preparation including, YouTube (93%), American Urological Association (AUA) Core Curriculum videos (84%) and institutional or attending-specific videos (46%). Video selection was based on quality (81%), length (58%) and the site of video creation (37%). Video preparation was reported predominantly for minimally invasive surgery (95%), subspecialty procedures (81%) and open procedures (75%). The most common print sources reported include Hinman's Atlas of Urologic Surgery (90%), Campbell-Walsh-Wein Urology (75%) and the AUA Core Curriculum (70%). When asked to rank their overall top 3 sources, 25% of residents reported YouTube as their primary source and 58% included it in their top 3. Only 24% of residents reported being aware of the AUA YouTube channel, while 77% were aware of the video section of the AUA Core Curriculum.Conclusions: Urology residents use video resources to prepare for surgical cases, with a heavy reliance on YouTube. AUA-curated video sources should be highlighted in the resident curriculum as the quality and educational content of YouTube videos are variable.
