Abstract

Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada COVID-19 pandemisinin pediatrik üroloji ameliyatlarına etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık.
Materyal ve metod: Tıp Fakültesi Pediatrik Üroloji Kliniği’ne pandemi döneminde (19 Mart-22 Aralık 2020) ve pandemi öncesi dönemde (19 Mart-22 Aralık 2019) polikliniğe başvuran ve önlemler eşliğinde ameliyat edilen pediatrik hastaların hastane kayıtları retrospektif incelendi. Pandemi dönemi ve öncesi poliklinik hasta sayıları, ameliyat sayıları ve endikasyonları, ameliyat türleri karşılaştırıldı. Cerrahi prosedürlerin isimleri ve sayılar Avrupa Üroloji Derneği (EAU) öncelik sınıflandırmasına göre listelendi.
Bulgular: COVID-19 pandemisi döneminde polikliniğe pediatrik hasta başvuru sayısı 2361 iken pandemi öncesi aynı dönemde 5214 idi. Pandemi döneminde polikliniğe başvuran hasta sayısının % 54,8 azaldığı görüldü. Pandemi döneminde toplam pediatrik ameliyat sayısı 316, pandemi dönemi öncesi 741 idi. Pandemi dönemi, pandemi öncesi ile karşılaştırıldığında pediatrik üroloji ameliyatlarında %58,4 azalma olduğu görüldü. Pandemi döneminde acil ameliyat sayısı 69, pandemi öncesi dönemde 85 idi. Pandemi döneminde acil ameliyatlardaki azalma %18,8 idi. Opere edilen hiçbir hastada COVID-19 nedeniyle komplikasyon izlenmedi.
Sonuç: COVID-19 salgını sırasında hastanemizdeki pediatrik üroloji poliklinik başvurusu ve ameliyat sayısının azalmış olduğu görüldü. Acil müdahalelerin gerekli olduğu olgularda yeterli önlemler alınarak, herhangi bir kontaminasyon ve mortalite olmaksızın cerrahi operasyonlarının uygulanabilirliği görüldü.

Abstract

Investigation of the effect of Covid-19 pandemic on pediatric urology operations in Şanliurfa province, where the birth rate is the highest in Turkey
Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric urology operations.
Materials and Methods: Hospital records of pediatric patients who applied to Harran University Medical Faculty Pediatric Urology Clinic during the pandemic period (19 March-22 December 2020) and pre-pandemic period (19 March-22 December 2019) and were operated with precautions were retrospectively analyzed. The number of outpatient clinic patients during and before the pandemic period, the number of operations and indications, and the types of surgery were compared. The names and numbers of surgical procedures are listed according to the European Association of Urology (EAU) priority classification.
Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the number of pediatric patients admitted to the outpatient clinic was 2361, while it was 5214 in the same period before the pandemic. It was observed that the number of patients who applied to the outpatient clinic decreased by 54.8% during the pandemic period. While the total number of pediatric operations was 316 during the pandemic period, it was 741 before the pandemic period. When the pandemic period was compared with the pre-pandemic period, a 58.4% reduction was observed in pediatric urology operations. The number of emergency operations was 69 during the pandemic period and 85 in the pre-pandemic period. During the pandemic period, the reduction in emergency operations was 18.8%. No complications were observed due to COVID-19 in any of the operated patients.
Conclusion: During the COVID-19 epidemic, it was observed that the number of pediatric urology outpatient clinic admissions and surgeries in our hospital decreased. In cases where urgent interventions were required, adequate precautions were taken, and surgical operations could be applied without any contamination and mortality.
