Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all elective operations have been postponed. Therefore, only diseases that threaten life/organ have been treated. We desired to discuss the diagnosis and surgical reasons of the patients who were operated in the pediatric surgery clinic for emergency or urgent reasons during this pandemic period, and also the measures to protect the patient and healthcare professionals from COVID-19 infection.
