BACKGROUND: After its initial description in China, Covid-19 is hitting nations
across the world, with Spain as the third country in number of deaths, after the
USA and Italy. Similarly to what is happening in other countries, an important
reduction in available operating rooms is affecting our departments. In this
study, we aim to know how Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the delivery of plastic
surgery services in Spain. METHODS: A questionnaire addressing some of our
concerns about how the Coronavirus crisis might severelyimpact our specialty has
been sent to the heads of the divisions of plastic surgery of several hospitals
across Spain. RESULTS: A total of 12 plastic surgery departments from different
hospitals across the country agreed to participate in the survey. Most plastic
surgery teams will need to maintain 50-80% of their staff in order to be able to
offer emergency and undelayable oncological procedures. The total amount of
procedures currently being performed ranged from 0 to 44% of the figures before
the coronavirus outbreak, except for one department, with elective surgery mainly
affected. Microsurgical cases have been massively discontinued during this
crisis. CONCLUSIONS: Plastic surgery delivery in the Spanish Health System is
being severely impacted as a collateral damage from this pandemic. Most of the
elective surgery is currently stopped. Our departments seem to be vulnerable
regarding their capacity to keep offering emergency care.Level of evidence: not
ratable (multi-center survey).
