چکیده

Background: COVID-۱۹ epidemic rapidly spread all around the world with over ۱۵۰۰ thousand infected cases and۹۵۰۰۰ deaths. This rapid pandemic may overwhelm health care capacity and shortage of resources is a major concern.Literature provided guidelines on management of COVID-۱۹ patients but healthcare service to the normal populationshould be continued meanwhile. Health system should act immediately and wisely to support essential surgical care whilefighting against COVID-۱۹.Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in the major data bases since ۲۰۲۰, using the combination of MeSHwords of “COVID-۱۹ “ and “surgery” and finally ۳۴ full texts entered to data extraction phase to define a plan for surgicalpractice during COVID-۱۹ pandemic.Results: Healthcare workers are at the higher risk of contamination by COVID-۱۹ especially in early stage of outbreakwhen they were not aware of the different aspects of COVID-۱۹ pandemic. All healthcare staff must be trained toproperly use PPE. All patients have to be screened at the hospital triage. All elective surgical interventions must bepostponed. Operation room is considered as a place with high risk of cross infection so the highest level of protectionshould be maintained. Anesthesia, endoscopy and oral surgery are considered as aerosol producing procedureswith very high risk of contamination. There is not any evidence to support the risk of infection trough blood products.Postoperative respiratory problems are more common among COVID-۱۹ patients that may increases the estimatedrisk of morbidity and mortality.Conclusion: COVID-۱۹ pandemic is a dynamic challenge for health system to save the healthcare staff andequipment resources by timely decisions. Healthcare workers are at the higher risk of contamination by COVID-۱۹especially in early phase of epidemic when the protection is sub-optimal.Level of evidence: III
