Introduction and hypothesis: The objective was to comprehensively analyze YouTube™ videos focusing on genital gender-affirmation surgery (GAS) from the perspective of urologists and gynecologists and to utilize results to create educational videos for transgender individuals with accurate and engaging content. Methods: A YouTube search was performed using the keywords “Metoidioplasty,” “Phalloplasty,” “Gender affirmation surgery,” “Transgender surgery,” “Vaginoplasty,” and “Male-to-female surgery.” Video results that were duplicated, non-English, of low relevance, non-audio, and/or short duration (under 2 min) were excluded. The upload source was classified as university/nonprofit physician or organization, health information websites, medical advertisement/for-profit organizations, or individual patient experience. Viewer engagement metrics were obtained for each video. Each video was evaluated using the DISCERN, Global Quality Score (GQS), and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for audio-visual content (PEMAT A-V) tools. Results: A total of 273 videos were evaluated. Viewer engagement metrics of videos from the patient experience group were higher than those of both universities/nonprofit physicians and medical advertisement/for-profit groups. DISCERN and GQS scores were significantly lower in videos uploaded by the patient experience group than in each of the other upload sources. More videos covered female-to-male (FtM) transition (168, 61.5%) than covered male-to-female (MtF; 71, 26.0%), and both (34, 12.5%). MtF transition videos had significantly higher total view counts than videos from the other groups (p<0.001). The like counts of videos were significantly higher in both MtF transition and FtM transition groups than for videos explaining both types of transition within the same video. The total DISCERN score was significantly lower in FtM transition videos than in the other content groups. Two educational videos were prepared, informed by the tools and results of this study, and hosted on YouTube. Conclusions: The findings suggest that genital GAS videos with less technical content have higher audience engagement. This information should be used to aid medical organizations when creating YouTube content to provide accurate information to larger audiences in the transgender community.
