Coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) is a global public health concern. Although there is a paucity of evidence to advise on the best practice, we recommend postponement of elective gynecological endoscopic surgeries until the pandemic is contained. Emergency surgeries should preferably be done through open surgeries than laparoscopy or hysteroscopy approach. However, if or when laparoscopy or hysteroscopy is considered, health personnel in theatre must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and all standard precautions should be observed to prevent COVID-19 infection. When COVID-19 is highly suspected or confirmed, the patient should be referred to centers equipped in taking care of such cases.
新型冠状病毒2型，即严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）疾病（COVID-19），是一个全球公共卫生问题。尽管缺乏足够证据来指导最佳实践，但我们建议将择期妇科内镜手术推迟到疫情得到控制。急诊手术最好采用开放手术而非腹腔镜或宫腔镜手术方式。然而，如果考虑进行腹腔镜或宫腔镜手术，手术室的医护人员必须穿戴适当的个人防护装备（PPE），并应遵守所有标准预防措施以防止COVID-19感染。当高度怀疑或确诊COVID-19时，应将患者转诊至有能力处理此类病例的中心。
