Abstract
BackgroundVideos on Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) may be watched by surgeons learning RPD. This study sought to appraise the educational quality of RPD videos on YouTube. MethodsOne-hundred videos showing RPD or ‘Robotic Whipple’ were assessed using validated scales (LAP-VEGaS & Consensus Statement Score (CSS)). The association between the scores and the video characteristics (e.g. order of appearance, provider type etc) was assessed. The minimum number of videos required to cumulatively cover the entire LAP-VEGaS and CSS was also noted. ResultsThe videos were of variable quality; median LAP-VEGaS = 0.67 (0.17−0.94), median CSS = 0.45 (0.29−0.53). There was no association between the educational quality of the videos and their order of appearance, view counts, provider type, length or country of origin. Videos lacked information such as patient consent (100%), potential pitfalls (97%) or surgeon credentials (84%). The first 29 videos cumulatively met all the criteria of CSS and LAP-VEGaS scores except for reporting consent. ConclusionYouTube videos on RPD are of variable quality, without any recognised predictors of quality, and miss important safety information. An impractical number of videos need to be watched to cumulatively fulfil educational criteria. There is a need for high-quality, peer-reviewed videos that adhere to educational principles.
