Abstract | Although European governments have launched the so-called phase 2 in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic (a transitional phase of beginning to downsize containment measures), intensive care units are not COVID-19-free and this restricts our therapeutic strategies. Moreover, minimally invasive surgery and general anesthesia are under debate as they are both aerosol-generating procedures and may contribute to contamination spread inside operating theatres. During this pandemic, 13 fragile patients needing abdominal surgery underwent awake open surgery under locoregional anesthesia at our department. This approach was feasible, safe, and, in specific cases, the only viable option. In the COVID-19 era, this approach could allow surgeons to carry out undeferrable surgeries, preventing viral transmission inside the operating room. |
