Assessment of YouTube Videos about Urethral Stricture and Its Management.

Purpose: To evaluate the reliability, transparency, usability and technical quality of videos about urethral stricture and its management in the most common video-sharing website "YouTube".

Methods: We performed a video search on YouTube using the keywords "Urethral Stricture", "Internal Urethrotomy" and "Urethroplasty". After excluding the videos that did not meet the inclusion criteria, demographic data of each video was recorded and assessed with the validated DISCERN questionnaire, the Journal of the American Medical Association Benchmark Score (JAMAs) and the Global Quality Score (GQS).
