ABSTRACT

Due to the current 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, process modifications are needed to perform surgical procedures safely and to decrease exposure. It is imminent that patients with confirmed or suspected disease will require some type of surgical treatment so they should take appropriate measures to minimize the possibility of contagion to hospital staff involved and also avoid complications in the patient by making wrong decisions. These recommendations serve for the application of safety measures and process recommendations when performing surgical procedures on patients confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19 disease. Starting from the premise that any intervention proposed for the patient should count as a maximum in the direct impact of the treatment and survival, being this intervention urgent or indispensable for his benefit (elective not postponable). The precise indications of the procedure must be individualized at all times, supported by diagnostic certainty, taking into account the possibility of conservative treatment as a safe form of therapeutic option.
