Abstract
Little is known about surgical practice in the initial phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global crisis. This is a retrospective case series of 4 surgical patients (cholecystectomy, hernia repair, gastric bypass, and hysterectomy) who developed perioperative complications in the first few weeks of COVID-19 outbreak in Tehran, Iran in the month of February 2020. COVID-19 can complicate the perioperative course with diagnostic challenge and a high potential fatality rate. In locations with widespread infections and limited resources, the risk of elective surgical procedures for index patient and community may outweigh the benefit.

The disease is caused by severe acute respiratory virus coronavirus 2 that simultaneously has high transmission and fatality rates. Little is known about surgical practice in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this report is to describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of elective surgical patients during the COVID-19 outbreak.</p><p>A retrospective case series of 4 patients who developed perioperative complications in the first few weeks of the COVID-19 outbreak in Iran in the month of February 2020. The first case of COVID-19 in Iran, the epicenter of infection in the Middle East, was officially reported on February 19, 2020 from the city of Qom.</p><p>Three patients developed postoperative fever and pulmonary complications after uneventful elective operations. Two operations were performed before the official announcement of outbreak in Iran. Correct diagnosis and management in the postoperative setting were challenging. Two patients died (Table <xref rid="T1" ref-type="table">1</xref> , Fig. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref> ).</p><table-wrap id="T1" position="float"><label>TABLE 1</label><caption><p>Clinical Characteristics of 4 Patients Who Developed Perioperative Complications in the First Few Weeks of COVID-19 Outbreak in Iran</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ansu-publish-ahead-of-print-10.1097.sla.0000000000003925-g001"></graphic></table-wrap><table-wrap id="T1A" position="float"><label>TABLE 1 (Continued)</label><caption><p>Clinical Characteristics of 4 Patients Who Developed Perioperative Complications in the First Few Weeks of COVID-19 Outbreak in Iran</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="ansu-publish-ahead-of-print-10.1097.sla.0000000000003925-g002"></graphic></table-wrap><fig id="F1" position="float"><label>FIGURE 1</label><caption><p>Chest CT scan of COVID-19 pneumonia.

One day before the scheduled surgery he was taken to the emergency department with severe acute respiratory distress which rapidly progressed to cardiopulmonary arrest (Table <xref rid="T1" ref-type="table">1</xref> ).</p><p>This case series show the challenges facing surgical practice in the initial phase of COVID-19 outbreak. The effects of surgical and anesthesia stress, perioperative medications, and postoperative change (eg, occurrence of lung atelectasis) on predisposition to new COVID-19 infection or exacerbation of current infection are not known. Based on current evidence, while it is believed that the fatality of COVID-19 is between 1 and 3%, most fatalities have occurred in elderly patients with underlying cardiopulmonary conditions, diabetes, and obesity.<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>–<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> Although the current series may bias reporting toward more severe outcomes, postoperative patients might be another group of patients in which COVID-19 would have a high fatality rate. A complicated postoperative course may especially be seen more in elderly patients with underlying health conditions.</p><p>In the postoperative period, development of fever or pulmonary complications can lead to a diagnostic challenge and can complicate the recovery of patients from elective surgery. In patients with postoperative fever, several diagnostic tests are usually necessary to determine the source. Other forms of infectious pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, and other conditions are among the differential diagnoses in patients with postoperative pulmonary symptoms. During the current progressive outbreak, a high index of suspicious for COVID-19 is necessary to make a correct diagnosis and to take correct actions to treat the index patient and to prevent the spread of virus.</p><p>The diagnostic accuracy of RT-PCR in the postoperative setting needs to be determined. Notably, in a recent series from China of over 1000 patients to assess the diagnostic accuracy of different tests, chest CT scan had sensitivity of 98% compared with RT-PCR sensitivity of only 71%.<sup><xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup> Furthermore, identification of biomarkers and development of clinical prediction models that predict severity and outcomes of COVID-19 in postoperative period would be extremely helpful. Some preliminary data suggest that severe lymphopenia and elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6, cardiac troponin I, and D-dimer correlate with the severity of hypoxemia and may predict hospital mortality.<sup><xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref></sup> Case 1 with elevated D-dimer, and Case 2 with lymphopenia, elevated CRP and ESR, and biomarkers of cardiac injury (elevated CKMB and troponin) died. However, Case 3 with a normal lymphocyte count and CRP survived.</p><p>These cases raise the possibility that performing elective operative interventions on patients with undetected hidden or mild form of COVID-19 may lead to contamination of operative room and equipment, with risk of transmission of the infection to operative team and other healthcare providers in hospitals. Secondary transmission of COVID-19 in the hospital setting is not uncommon.<sup><xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> Case 3, who developed fever on postoperative day 2, probably had hidden or mild form of disease at the time of surgery with a real risk of spreading to others during hospital admission. It is not clear if Case 1 and Case 2, who were readmitted about 2 weeks after surgery, got the infection at the time of surgery or after hospital discharge in community. Obviously if Case 4 was not presenting with pulmonary manifestations (eg, if he was only in the incubation period of infection with minimal symptoms), he would have had the bariatric procedure the next day.</p><p>In conclusion, COVID-19 can complicate the perioperative course with diagnostic challenge and a high potential fatality rate. Depending on the severity of an epidemic and availability of resources, the risk and benefits of performing elective surgical procedures should be carefully assessed in this setting. In locations with widespread infections and limited resources, the risk of elective surgical procedures for index patient and community may outweigh the benefit. In some situations, postponing elective surgical procedures might be the right decision which can also preserve the resources including the personal protective equipment and maintain treatment space for critical patients. Another option would be routine or selective screening of patients for COVID-19 before elective surgical procedures, which we feel is the minimum acceptable baseline. Utilizing telemedicine and virtual visits using a smartphone for perioperative visits can also be an option to decrease the risk of spreading the infection during the outbreaks. Although many questions remain unanswered about COVID-19 and surgical practice, the surgical and perioperative communities should appropriately respond to this worldwide public health crisis to improve patient outcomes and minimize the burden on the health care systems and global society.</p></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="other"><p>Dr SS and Dr AR-J had full access to all of the data in the study and take responsibility for the integrity of the data.</p></fn><fn fn-type="other"><p>Concept and design: All authors.</p></fn><fn fn-type="other"><p>Acquisition and interpretation of data: SS, AR-J, MG.</p></fn><fn fn-type="other"><p>Drafting of the manuscript: AA.</p></fn><fn fn-type="other"><p>Critical revision of the manuscript: All authors.</p></fn><fn fn-type="COI-statement"><p>All authors have completed and submitted the ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest.
