Özet
In December 2019, several cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology emerged in Wuhan, China, and it spread worldwide, causing great concern. This disease was named Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization and declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Secondary transmission mainly occurs through contact with contaminated respiratory droplets or aerosolized virion-containing particles, and the virus is found in all body fluids such as the gastrointestinal tract, blood, saliva, and urine, extending the potential transmission routes, health during treatment, and care of suspected/confirmed COVID-19 patients. It worries that health workers may be widely contaminated. Therefore, it is very important that the surgical team is fully aware of the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, determines appropriate strategies against occupational exposure risk, and takes protective measures. Based on this, this review discussed with the aim of presenting a plan for the response of general surgery clinics to the current pandemic crisis and other pandemic events of similar magnitude, examining effective management strategies before, during, and after surgery of suspected/confirmed COVID-19 patients in the light of the literature, and suggesting measures that will help minimize risk. © 2022 Archives of Health Science and Research.
