Neurosurgical and craniofacial surgery during the Covid-19 pandemic
Vol 36, Issue 2S3, 2022
Abstract
The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resulted in an unprecedented global public healthcrisis and impacted all spheres of life, including all economic activity, travel, governance, education, surgeryand, of course, healthcare. Neurosurgery, dentistry, and maxillofacial surgery are also not spared. Surgeonsoperating near the aerodigestive tract are at particularly high risk of being infected, and consequently,they shifted their practices toward more protective personal protective equipment. In the present digitalera, surgeons use more and more web, teleconsulting, and virtual reality to effectively communicate withpatients and their relatives on treatment strategies and appointments for surgical works. The COVID-19situation also provides a novel opportunity to learn, update our knowledge, and update ourselves such thatwe continue to save lives. In conclusion, it seems appropriate to request that every healthcare institutionreceives well-researched and documented protocols for dealing with future inevitable global pandemics.
