ABSTRACT

Otologic surgical procedures have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Is not known how long it will be until we see a decrease in the number of new cases and when we will be able to return to our usual medical practice. Meanwhile, we must adapt quickly to a new surgical practice in the COVID era. This article discuses recommendations for reactivating otological surgical services during the pandemic, establishing safe guidelines for ear surgery and for postoperative patient follow-up. One of the most important goals is to provide recommendations on how to behave in the operating room, how to use personal protection elements and to present new methods that seek to reduce the exposure of the surgical team to aerosolization. Here we describe a novel technique using the already described double draping technique and adding an extension for the surgeon´s protection.
