ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this article is to provide updated information to help the surgeon execute his surgical practice safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A review of the current available literature was carried out with a critical analysis of the articles, internet pages of official world organizations and standardized management manuals. Results: A guide of surgical indications was created including multiple areas and surgical specialties of interest that will help the surgeon follow through during and after the pandemic. Conclusion: Surgical practice as we know it has radically changed as a result of the pandemic. The information collected from the available literature makes recommendations that emerge from known data and experts opinions. As a result, this guide of recommendations should not be followed rigorously, the surgeon’s criteria should be applied in each specific situation and individualizing each case. New scientific findings are updating the information rapidly, and therefore, the strategies and measures described in this article are likely to change as we gain knowledge about COVID-19.
