| Popis: | The COVID-19 pandemic is threatening the world and our country today. Minimally invasive surgery was initially thought to have a higher risk of spreading the disease through aerosolisation of viral particles through the pneumoperitoneum. This article outlines the various protective measures taken for minimally invasive surgery to decrease the aerosol spread at a Gynecologic Oncology unit during the COVID pandemic period. Precautions taken during anesthesia, trocar insertion, surgery and special precautions for smoke evacuation with viral filters are outlined. |
