YouTube for vaginal mesh information

Social media networks and websites are extensively used in healthcare. This interesting study examines information available on YouTube videos for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repairs with mesh. Forty-nine videos were viewed. Sources were 69% legal firms, 24% medical institutions and 6% others. Scores were given to each video depending on content and clarity, etc. There were low overall scores in all domains studied regardless of source. One should take YouTube information in a guarded way.
