THE INSTANT AND LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON SURGICAL SERVICE DELIVERY

Aim: The continuing epidemic is getting the negative health effect on facility of surgical treatment to masses of individuals. Little is identified about epidemic treatment also its implications on other services, counting surgical delivery.

Methods: The scoping evaluation of altogether information existing on COVID-19 and operation was conducted utilizing internet sources, society webpages, webinars, and preprint archives.

Results: Inside a short period of time, numerous postoperative recommendations were published. Many proposals are conflicting and, at best, based on anecdotal evidence. As the locations with the most procedures per capita are struck, an extraordinary cost of operation is negated or postponed. No significant stakeholder appears to addressed how a pandemic prevents hospital patients of supplies, including individuals being adversely impacted due to kind of therapy (usage of anesthesia, operating rooms, caring apparatus, physical incursion in addition requirement for perioperative care). There is no advice on how to restart surgical delivery. To sustain sufficient surgical care for people while in an epidemic, post pandemic review and planning for the future should include clinical support as an integral component. Because of their cross-cutting character and combinatorial impacts on health systems at large, surgery delivery should remain included in WHO priority for national health management.

Conclusion: As a result of the epidemic, individuals are being denied surgical treatment, having unclear loss of purpose also the possibility of poor prediction. A contingency reserve for surgical services is required to continue surgical treatment throughout a continuing or post pandemic period.
