Abstract

Objective

This study aimed is to analyse the quality of stapedotomy videos as an educational tool and to test the feasibility of the IVORY grading system (IVORY-GS) in an otological procedure.

Methods

YouTube was searched using the terms “stapedectomy”, “stapedotomy” and “otosclerosis surgery.” Video length, upload date, view count and likes were evaluated. The included videos were scored according to the IVORY-GS.

Results

Sixty-seven videos were evaluated. The mean IVORY-GS total score was 21.8. Video scores were higher in the ethics part. Case presentation items got the lowest scores in total. The total score showed a significantly positive correlation with like counts. No significant correlation was found between the total score and view count and video age.

Conclusion

The educational quality of most of the stapedotomy videos on YouTube is insufficient. The IVORY-GS is a comprehensive guideline in the otorhinolaryngology field. However, it may require some modifications based on the type of surgery.
