Abstract

Aim: Emergency surgery can be defined as surgical interventions and operations necessary to deal with an acute threat to life, organ, limb, or tissue. Our study examined the impact of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on emergency surgical operations (ESOs) performed in state hospitals in Turkey. Materials and Methods: In this national, retrospective, and descriptive study, ESOs performed in 2nd and 3rd-level state hospitals in Turkey in 2021 were recorded for the study. ESOs performed in 2019 were taken as the control group, and the changes between the two groups were examined. Results: A total of 1,822,075 ESOs were included in the analysis. There was a 7.6% decrease in ESOs in 2021 compared to 2019. In both 2019 and 2021, cesarean section, surgical treatment of upper/lower extremity fractures and dislocations, and cholecystectomy were the most frequently performed ESOs. An increase in the number of ESOs in 2021 compared to 2019 was observed only in the urology department (7.1%) and orthopedics and traumatology department (2.7%). The surgical departments with the greatest decreases were neurosurgery (-28.1%), Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (-27.7%), and thoracic surgery (-20.9%) Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of ESOs performed in the 2nd and 3rd-level state hospitals in Turkey decreased compared with the previous year.
新冠肺炎大流行对土耳其公立医院急诊手术的影响:回顾性和描述性研究
目的:急诊手术可以定义为应对生命、器官、肢体或组织的急性威胁所需的外科干预和手术。我们的研究考察了2019冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行对土耳其公立医院紧急外科手术(ESO)的影响。材料和方法:在这项全国性、回顾性和描述性研究中,记录了2021年在土耳其二级和三级州立医院进行的ESO。将2019年进行的ESO作为对照组,检查两组之间的变化。结果:共有1822075名ESO被纳入分析。与2019年相比,2021年ESO减少了7.6%。在2019年和2021年,剖宫产、上肢/下肢骨折和脱位的外科治疗以及胆囊切除术是最常见的ESO。与2019年相比,2021年ESO数量仅在泌尿外科(7.1%)和矫形外科和创伤科(2.7%)增加。减少最多的外科是神经外科(-28.1%)、耳鼻咽喉头颈外科(-27.7%)和胸部外科(-20.9%)。结论:在新冠肺炎大流行期间,与前一年相比,土耳其二级和三级公立医院的ESO数量有所下降。
