The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically changed our daily lives and medical practices since it was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Unlike the usual transmission patterns of other viral diseases, the asymptomatic or presymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 has caused difficulties in disease control around the globe. Surgical smoke or fumes may carry viruses. However, there is no evidence that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes COVID-19, is transmitted via surgical smoke or fumes. Laparoscopic surgeries should be continued to ensure optimal patient care. This review article aimed to investigate the current evidence relating to COVID-19 in surgical care and to discuss future remedies as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
自2019年12月在中国武汉首次报告以来，2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行极大地改变了我们的日常生活和医疗实践。与其他病毒性疾病通常的传播模式不同，COVID-19的无症状或症状前传播给全球疾病控制带来了困难。手术烟雾或废气可能携带病毒。然而，没有证据表明导致COVID-19的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2通过手术烟雾或废气传播。应继续进行腹腔镜手术以确保为患者提供最佳护理。这篇综述文章旨在研究外科护理中与COVID-19相关的现有证据，并随着COVID-19大流行的持续讨论未来的补救措施。
