About

Engin Oral is a clinician-researcher whose work bridges the fields of gynecologic surgery and digital health education. His primary research focuses on the intersection of surgical technique, patient education, and online media reliability, with a particular emphasis on endometriosis and ovarian cyst management. In his most cited study, "Relation between educational reliability and viewer interest in YouTube® videos depicting endometrioma cystectomy surgical techniques" (2020, 17 citations), Oral critically evaluated the quality and engagement of online surgical content, revealing a significant disconnect between educational value and viewer popularity. This work highlights his broader contribution to improving how surgical knowledge is disseminated to both trainees and patients in the age of digital learning. By analyzing the reliability of freely available surgical videos, Oral has helped shape best practices for online medical education, ensuring that high-quality, evidence-based content reaches those who need it most. His research is particularly valuable for medical students, residents, and practicing surgeons seeking to navigate the growing but unregulated landscape of surgical tutorials on platforms like YouTube.
