Educational quality of laparoscopic hysterectomy videos for advanced endometriosis: institutional archives versus YouTube and MedTube.
Observational study in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the educational quality of laparoscopic hysterectomy videos for advanced endometriosis (ASRM stage III − IV) and to compare them across different digital platforms.
methodsIn this observational comparative study, laparoscopic hysterectomy videos were selected from YouTube, MedTube, and our institutional video archive during the period from September to November 2025. Videos were assessed using the nine-item LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) scoring system. Each video was independently evaluated by six reviewers, including three senior surgeons and three residents. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test and linear mixed-effects models.
resultsA total of 60 laparoscopic hysterectomy videos were analyzed, with 20 videos from each platform. Median LAP-VEGaS scores were significantly higher for institutional archive videos [14.0 (13.0–15.0)] compared with YouTube and MedTube (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis using a linear mixed-effects model showed that the institutional platform (β = +2.13, p < 0.001) and senior surgeon evaluators (β = +0.28, p = 0.038) were independently associated with higher educational quality. MedTube (β = −0.22, p = 0.676) and endometriosis stage IV (β = −0.81, p = 0.101) were not significantly associated with LAP-VEGaS scores. Videos from the institutional archive achieved the highest scores, particularly for Educational Value (Criterion 9) and Image Quality (Criterion 8).
conclusionThe educational quality of laparoscopic hysterectomy videos is more closely related to academic and institutional context than platform type. Structured, academically curated video archives may play an important role in supporting standardized surgical training for complex procedures.
