A Low Cost, Safe and Effective Method for Smoke Evacuation in Laparoscopic Surgery for Suspected Coronavirus Patients / Y. Mintz, A. Arezzo, L. Boni, M. Chand, R. Brodie, A. Fingerhut. - In: ANNALS OF SURGERY. - ISSN 0003-4932. - 272:1(2020 Jul), pp. e7-e8. [10.1097/SLA.0000000000003965]
Abstract:
The debate regarding the safety of smoke evacuation and aerosol diffusion during laparoscopy has resurfaced with the COVID 19 outbreak. We suggest using a simple,readily available low-cost filtration system for immediate implementation. We solicit the
responsibility of surgeons to take the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of viral diffusion in the operating room and ensure that our patients continue to benefit from the advantages of laparoscopic surgery.
