“…If surgical treatment is required for patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infection, several factors should be considered to prevent the infection of medical staff [29]. The hospital should designate a negative-pressure operating room for patients with COVID-19.…”

“…Cancer treatment for patients who are COVID-19 positive should be as conservative as possible, using stent placement for stenosing cancer and performing surgery after the resolution of infection. Hartmann's procedure should be considered for left-sided occlusion or perforation [17,29]. Although there are concerns regarding SARS-COV-2 release into CO 2 during laparoscopic or robotic surgery, there is no clear evidence to support open surgery over minimally invasive surgery [16,17,29,31,32].…”

“…However, all efforts should be made to eliminate the risk of staff exposure to aerosolized particles. This can be achieved by minimizing the creation of a plume (reduce power setting) through the use of electrocautery or ultrasonic scalpels, limiting CO 2 release into the operating room by lowering the pneumoperitoneum pressure, reducing the Trendelenburg position, or deflating the abdomen before retrieving a specimen or before removing the trocars [29,31,32].…”

COVID-19: clinical issues from the Japan Surgical Society

In this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, several key issues must be addressed to ensure safe treatment and prevent rapid spread of the virus and a consequential medical crisis. Careful evaluation of a patient's condition is crucial for deciding the triage plan, based on the status of the disease and comorbidities. As functionality of the medical care system is greatly affected by the environmental situation, the treatment may differ according to the medical and infectious disease circumstances of the institution. Importantly, all medical staff must prevent nosocomial COVID-19 by minimizing the effects of aerosol spread and developing diagnostic and surgical procedures. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening for COVID-19 infection, particularly in asymptomatic patients, should be encouraged as these patients are prone to postoperative respiratory failure. In this article, the Japan Surgical Society addresses the general principles of surgical treatment in relation to COVID-19 infection and advocates preventive measures against viral transmission during this unimaginable COVID-19 pandemic.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the training of general surgery residents

Background The educational process of young doctors should be a topic of high interest, since it is central to preparing the new generations of healthcare providers. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the medical system on multiple levels, including medical education. Methods We conducted a descriptive survey study, designed to reflect the impact of the pandemic on the training of general surgery residents. Two questionnaires were delivered to general surgery residents at two different periods: one in the pre-COVID-19 era (December 2019) and one in the COVID-19 era (December 2020). Data were gathered on participants' characteristics, current clinical practice and knowledge, extracurricular activities, and involvement in the management of COVID-19 cases. Results We registered 33 responses in the pre-COVID-19 era and 45 responses in the COVID-19 era. Most participants felt that the pandemic significantly affected their training in classic and laparoscopic surgery. The number of days per week that the residents were active in the operating room and the
