AB  - Objective: YouTube has become an increasingly important platform for surgical education; however, the quality of laparoscopic surgery videos is variable. The LAParoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines (LAP-VEGaS) provides a standardized framework for assessing surgical video quality.Material and Methods: A systematic search was conducted on YouTube using relevant search terms. English-narrated laparoscopic radical nephrectomy videos were included. Each video was evaluated using the 9-item core LAP-VEGaS checklist.Results: Twenty-one videos were included. The mean LAP-VEGaS score was 9.14 ± 3.72 (range 3–16). Videos originated from 11 different countries, with India contributing 38.1% (n=8). No significant correlation was found between popularity metrics and educational quality (p>0.05).Conclusion: Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy videos on YouTube demonstrate a moderate level of educational quality. The lack of association between popularity and educational value highlights the necessity of quality assessment tools in surgical education.

N2  - Amaç: YouTube cerrahi eğitimde giderek artan önemde bir platform haline gelmiştir, ancak laparoskopik cerrahi videolarının kalitesi değişkendir. LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) cerrahi video kalitesini değerlendirmek için standart bir çerçeve sağlar.Gereç ve Yöntem: YouTube’da ilgili arama terimleri kullanılarak sistematik arama yapıldı. İngilizce açıklamalı laparoskopik radikal nefrektomi videoları dahil edildi. Her video 9 maddelik LAP-VEGaS temel kontrol listesi kullanılarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Yirmi bir video dahil edildi. Ortalama LAP-VEGaS skoru 9.14±3.72 (aralık 3-16) idi. Videolar 11 farklı ülke kaynaklıydı, Hindistan %38.1 (n=8) katkı sağladı. Popülerlik metrikleri ile eğitimsel kalite arasında anlamlı korelasyon bulunmadı (p>0.05).Sonuç: YouTube’daki laparoskopik radikal nefrektomi videoları orta düzeyde eğitimsel kalite göstermektedir. Popülerlik ve eğitimsel değer arasındaki bağlantısızlık, cerrahi eğitimde kalite değerlendirme araçlarının gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.
