BACKGROUND: Our aim was to evaluate the educational value of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) videos on YouTube. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted for TURP videos on YouTube. Based on the Laparoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines we created a checklist which includes 20 items for evaluation of the videos. IBM SPSS statistics was used for analysis. RESULTS: A total of 104 surgical videos were assessed. The mean view count was 15647.3 (21-324.522, SD 47556.4). Video image quality found as low for 57.7% of videos. Both staff (76%) and resident (75%) rated most of the videos low educational quality. No statistically significant difference was found between staff's total points (mean 4.35 ± SD 2.9) and resident's total points (mean 4.63 ± SD 3.3) (p: 0.761). Positive correlation was found between view count and staff's total points (r: 0.242 p < 0.05), resident's total points (r: 0.340 p < 0.01). There was also positive correlation between number of likes and staff's total points (r: 0.375 p < 0.01) and resident's total points (r: 0.466 p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Most TURP surgical videos on YouTube are low quality. Higher educational quality videos with detailed explanation of the procedure are needed on this subject. We believe this study could be a guide for future high quality TURP videos.
