Popis: Background: Background: the COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to new challenges in the management of laparoscopic surgery. Objectives: the aim of this study is to present a low-cost filtering system used for laparoscopic surgery during the pandemic in our Department of Surgery. Material and methods: a bibliographic search was conducted and a protocol and filtering system were designed to evacuate the pneumoperitoneum avoiding contact with the SARS-CoV-2. Results: this low-cost filtering system to evacuate the pneumoperitoneum during the pandemic is easy to assemble using materials that are usually available at the operating room. Conclusions: laparoscopic surgery is feasible during the COVID-19 pandemic using a simple, low-cost carbon dioxide filtering system.
