Purpose and Introduction: Social media users are gradually increasing and spending their time to gather much useful information for themselves. Here, we analyzed the quality of Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate (Holep) surgery videos on YouTube. Methods: The most viewed 98 videos were included in this study by the search for ‘Holep’ keyword on YouTube. The Journal of American Medical Association Benchmark Score (JAMAS) and Global Quality Score (GQS) were used to analyze the videos after performing validated Holep Scoring System Score (HSSS) by three surgeons to evaluate the technical quality of videos. Results: The videos included surgical technique (76.5%) and uploaded by urologists (63.3%) constituted the majority of videos. The median of JAMAS, GQS, and HSSS were 1 (0-3), 2 (0-4), and 1.5 (0-11), respectively. The mean GQS and JAMAS of videos uploaded by academic centers was higher than those uploaded by commercials and urologists (p=0,01; p=0.01, respectively). The mean HSSS was lower in the videos uploaded in the last five years while JAMAS was higher (p=0.03; 0.005, respectively). The mean GQS and HSSS of videos with higher likes were found statistically significantly higher (p=0.01; p=0.02, respectively). Conclusion: Holep videos on YouTube are not enough worth to get proper information about the surgery. Videos uploaded by academic centers and in recent years provide relatively more valid information for patients and urologists. To increase the worth of information, online materials need to be checked for patients to access accurate, reliable, and appropriate healthcare information.

ABSTRACT Objective: In this study we aimed to determine the coexistence of overactive bladder in patients with gastroenterological disorders including hepatitis, cirrhosis and IBD. Materials and Methods: we prospectively collected the data of patients who admitted to the outpatient clinic of department of gastroenterology at xxx hospital between May 2017 and February 2019. All patients with chronic gastroenterological disorders such as hepatitis and irritable bowel syndrome willing to participate the study after the verbal consent were included the study Results: A total of 289 female patients were included the study. The mean age of the patients was 49.9 ±13 years. The mean BMI value was 27.9± 4.5 kg/m2. Among 289 patients, 135 (46.7%) had Hepatitis B, 53 (18.3%) had ulcerative colitis, 35 (12.1%) had Crohn’s disease, 22 (7.6%) had autoimmune hepatitis, 19 (6.6%) had primer biliary cirrhosis, 13 (4.5%) had Hepatitis C and 12(4.2%) had celiac disease. The mean age of patients was similar between patients having OAB-v8 higher and lower than 8 (p=0.46). However, patients having OAB score>8 had higher BMI compared to patients who had OAB score <8, 29.1 ±5 vs. 27.2 ±4.1 kg/m2, p=0.001. In multivariate regression analysis, BMI was the sole indicator of OAB (p=0.001) whereas age (p=0.46), menopause status (p=0.33), smoking status (p=0.97) were not. Conclusion: The incidence of OAB in our patient cohort was higher than the reported incidence which might suggest evaluation patients with gastrointestinal disorders in terms of overactive bladder on routine follow-up.
