ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the content, reliability and quality of YouTube videos about penis enlargement procedures and products. Material and Methods: The YouTube videos were searched using the keyword ''penis enlargement, penis augmentation, penis enhancement''. The videos were sorted according to their relevance, and the upload date and number of views were recorded. The first 184 videos were included in the study. The quality, reliability and accuracy of the information were evaluated by two independent urologists using the Journal of American Medical Association score, the 5-point modified DISCERN tool and the Global Quality Score. Results: Video quality was analyzed under 2 headings according to the upload source and video contents. The number of analysed videos was 150. It was noted that only 6 video's source were academic (author/authors are/are affiliated with a university). The 64.6% of the total videos were uploaded by physicians (author/authors who are not affiliated with a university). All 47 videos uploaded by medical advertisement/profit organizations and individual users/patients received low scores according to modified DISCERN tool. Conclusion: This study revealed that the quality, content, and reliability of existing videos on penis enlargement are very low. YouTube is insufficient as a source of information on penis enlargement.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, penis büyütme cerrahisi ve diğer tıbbi uygulamalar ile ilgili YouTube videolarının içerik, güvenilirlik ve kalitesinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: YouTube videoları İngilizce olarak ''penis enlargement, penis augmentation, penis enhancement'' anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak tarandı. Videolar alaka düzeyine göre sıralandıktan sonra yükleme tarihi ve izlenme sayısı kaydedildi. Kriterlere uyan 184 video incelendi. Bilgilerin kalitesi, güvenilirliği ve doğruluğu iki bağımsız ürolog tarafından ''Journal of American Medical Association'' skoru, modifiye DISCERN ölçeği ve Global Kalite Skoru kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Video kalitesi, yükleme kaynağı ve video içeriğine göre iki başlık altında incelendi. Yüz elli video çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Sadece 6 videonun kaynağının akademik (üniversiteye bağlı yazar/yazarlar) olduğu kaydedildi. Toplam videoların %64,6'sı doktorlar (üniversiteye bağlı olmayan yazar veya yazarlar) tarafından yüklendiği görüldü. Tıbbi reklam/kâr amaçlı kuruluşlar ve bireysel kullanıcılar/hastalar tarafından yüklenen 47 videonun tümü, modifiye DISCERN aracına göre düşük puanlar aldığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, penis büyütme ile ilgili mevcut videoların kalitesinin, içeriğinin ve güvenilirliğinin çok düşük olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. YouTube, penis büyütme konusunda bilgi kaynağı olarak yetersizdir.
