Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and quality of the information content of popular YouTube™ videos about genioplasty. The keywords “genioplasty, sliding genioplasty and genioplasty surgery” were searched on YouTube™. It was filtered by the view count and the first 70 videos that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. Each video was scored as ranging from 0 to 8 point and the videos were classified as bad, poor, good and excellent content. Kruskal-Wallis test was performed for statistical analysis. Intra-observer and inter-observer agreement were calculated Cohen's Kappa index. The videos uploaded by the individuals were significantly higher total video duration (P0.05). The results of this study would suggest that YouTube™ is not currently an appropriate source of information about genioplasty for the patients.
