Öz

COVID-19 pandemisi sağlık sisteminde birçok zorunlu değişikliğe sebep olmuştur. Bu bağlamda, acil cerrahi müdahaleler için bazı değişiklikler ve stratejiler oluşturulmuştur. Bu amaçla literatürde pandemi süresince cerrahi müdahaleyi konu alan bir çok makale yayınlanmıştır. Biz bu çalışmada pandemi süresince acil cerrahi yaklaşımın nasıl olması gerektiği konusunda literatürü derlemeye çalıştık. Ayrıca acil cerrahi hastasının seçimi, hastanın ve cerrahi ekibin pre-operatif dönemde hazırlanması, ameliyat sırasında anestezi ve cerrahi ekibe yönelik alınması gereken önlemler ve post-operatif dönemde yapılması gerekenleri sunmaya çalıştık.
