YouTube as a source of patients and specialists' information on hemorrhoids and hemorrhoid surgery.

CONCLUSION: Around half of the YouTube videos regarding hemorrhoids topic are misleading or inaccurate and present a risk of harmful consequences. Credible videos with accurate information need to be uploaded by medical professionals and medical institutions and some sort of filtering using categories by the staff of YouTube appear to be necessary. Care must be taken to produce clear highquality operative clips with generous scientific commentary. PMID: 32448106 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
