Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has disrupted lives and indelibly impacted the practice of medicine since emerging as a pandemic in March 2020. For neurosurgery departments throughout the United States, the pandemic has created unique challenges across subspecialties in devising methods of triage, workflow, and operating room safety. Located in New York City, at the early epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis, the Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Neurological Surgery was disrupted and challenged in many ways, requiring adaptations in clinical operations, workforce management, research, and education. Through our department's collective experience, we offer a glimpse at how our faculty and administrators overcame obstacles, and transformed in the process, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
自 2020 年 3 月作为大流行出现以来，2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）扰乱了人们的生活，并不可磨灭地影响了医学实践。对于美国各地的神经外科部门而言，大流行在制定分诊，工作流程和手术室安全方法方面给各个专业带来了独特的挑战。位于纽约市的康奈尔大学威尔医学院神经外科系处于 COVID-19 危机的早期中心，其临床运营，劳动力管理，研究和教育方面都受到了干扰和挑战，需要进行调整。通过我们部门的集体经验，我们可以了解到我们的教职员工和管理人员如何克服障碍，并在 COVID-19 大流行高峰期进行转变。
