The pandemic of COVID-19 has been a game changer in many aspects of medical care, including laparoscopic surgery service. Uncertainty in the early pandemic has led to the fear of doing laparoscopic surgery with regard to the possibility of SARS-COV-2 transmission through surgical smoke. We carried out laparoscopic surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic with intention to test our local adaptation of a laparoscopic smoke evacuator. Twenty-five laparoscopic cases for digestive surgery were performed with uneventful results. In summary, a low cost local adaptation of laparoscopic smoke and safe surgical behavior should be the standard of care when delivering laparoscopic surgery service in the pandemic era and forward.
COVID-19 大流行在医疗保健的许多方面都带来了改变，包括腹腔镜手术服务。在大流行早期，人们担心通过手术烟雾传播 SARS-COV-2，这导致对进行腹腔镜手术感到恐惧。我们在 COVID-19 大流行期间进行了腹腔镜手术，旨在测试我们对腹腔镜烟雾抽吸器的本地适应性。进行了 25 例消化外科腹腔镜手术，结果均无意外。总之，在大流行时代及以后提供腹腔镜手术服务时，应将低成本的本地腹腔镜烟雾适应和安全的手术行为作为标准护理。
