As otolaryngologists are exposed to high risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, logic and evidence-based prioritization for surgeries is essential to reduce the risk of infection amongst healthcare workers. Several clinical guidelines and surgery prioritizing recommendations have been published during the COVID-19 pandemic. They recommended the surgery in the setting of immediate facial nerve paralysis within 72 hours after trauma, but none of the previous studies in the literature suggests that the optimal timing of operation should be less than 2 weeks from injury.
由于耳鼻喉科医生面临2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）感染的高风险，基于逻辑和证据的手术优先级划分对于降低医护人员的感染风险至关重要。在COVID-19大流行期间，已经发布了几项临床指南和手术优先级划分建议。它们建议在创伤后72小时内出现立即面神经麻痹的情况下进行手术，但文献中以前的研究均未表明最佳手术时机应在受伤后不到2周。
