Objetivo:  conocer la evolución de la cirugía programada y su perfil de comportamiento en los servicios del Hospital Maciel (HM) durante el período de pandemia COVID-19.  Método:  se estudia la productividad quirúrgica del HM durante los períodos de prepandemia (2019) y pandemia (2020/2021), a partir del análisis de la oportunidad y especialidad de la cirugía realizada y la demanda de camas de Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI).  Resultado:  durante el período de pandemia (13/3/2020-30/6/2021) se operaron 5.302 pacientes; solo 132 (2,5%) se realizaron en pacientes COVID-19 positivos. La actividad quirúrgica global descendió 22,2% y en cirugías coordinadas 37,4%. Se mantuvo incambiado el volumen de cirugías de urgencias en relación al período prepandemia. Se constató un incremento exponencial de actividad en traumatología, (214%) y otorrinolaringología (57,4%); leve aumento en cirugías de tórax (12,7%), la cirugía vascular y la neurocirugía mantuvieron su actividad (0,3% y -7,8% respectivamente). Las clínicas de cirugía general descendieron su producción en forma importante: 63,5%.  Conclusiones:  se cumplió con la asistencia a pacientes oncológicos e impostergables, lo cual cambio el perfil de la cirugía, aumentando la actividad en las especialidades en detrimento marcado de la cirugía general y de las disciplinas que operan fundamentalmente patologías postergables y benignas de alta prevalencia.]]></p></abstract>

Objective:  to learn about the evolution of elective surgeries and behaviour profiles at the Maciel Hospital during the COVID19 pandemic.  Method:  the study analyses the delivery of elective surgeries at Maciel Hospital during the pre-pandemic (2019) and pandemic (2020/2021) periods by studying timing and area of specialization of the surgery performed and demand ICU beds.  Results:  during the pandemic period (13.3.2020-30.6.2021) 5302 patients were operated; and only 132 of them (2.5%) were COVID 19 positive. Global surgical services dropped 22.2% and 37.4% in elective surgeries. The number of emergency surgeries remained the same when compared to the pre-pandemic period. A huge growth was seen in traumatology (214%) and otorhinolaryngology (57.4%) services, a slight increase in thoracic consultations (12.7%) and no change was observed in vascular surgery consultations (0.3%). Consultations in other areas of specialization, such as urology, neurosurgery and general surgery significantly dropped, between 7.8% and 65.5%.  Conclusions:  health services were delivered to oncologic patients given their urgency, which, modfied the surgical profile, increasing activity in specializations and at the expense of general surgeries and the specialization areas the mainly operate bening conditions that may be delayed that are highly prevalent.]]></p></abstract>

Objetivo:  conhecer a evolução da cirurgia programada e seu perfil de comportamento nos serviços do Hospital Maciel (HM) durante o período pandêmico de COVID-19.  Método:  estudou-se a produtividade cirúrgica programada do HM, nos períodos pré-pandêmico (2019) e pandêmico (2020/2021), a partir da análise da oportunidade e especialidade da cirurgia realizada e da demanda por leitos de UTI.  Resultado:  durante o período pandêmico (13/3/2020-30/6/2021), um total de 5.302 pacientes foram operados; Apenas 132 (2,5%) foram realizadas em pacientes COVID-19 positivos. A atividade cirúrgica global diminuiu 22,2% e 37,4% nas cirurgias coordenadas. Com relação ao período pré-pandêmico a quantidade de cirurgias de emergência permaneceu inalterada. Um aumento exponencial da atividade foi encontrado em trauma (214%) e otorrinolaringologia (57,4%); um pequeno aumento em tórax (12,7%); a cirurgia vascular manteve-se estável (0,3%), enquanto as demais disciplinas: urologia, neurocirurgia e ambas as clínicas de cirurgia geral diminuíram significativamente, entre 7,8% e 63,5%.  Conclusões:  foi cumprida a assistência aos doentes oncológicos e não postergáveis, o que alterou o perfil da cirurgia, aumentando a atividade nas especialidades, em acentuado detrimento da cirurgia geral e das disciplinas que operam sobretudo patologias postergáveis e benignas de alta prevalência.]]></p></abstract>
