- The impact of COVID-19 on the plastic surgery activity in a high-complexity university hospital in Brazil: the importance of reconstructive plastic surgery during the pandemic(2020) PAGOTTO, Vitor Penteado Figueiredo; ABBAS, Laielly; GOLDENBERG, Dov Charles; LOBATO, Rodolfo Costa; NASCIMENTO, Bruno Baptista do; MONTEIRO, Gustavo Gomes Ribeiro; CAMARGO, Cristina Pires; BUSNARDO, Fabio de Freitas; GEMPERLI, RolfBackground The Hospital das Clinicas - University of Sao Paulo Medical School (HCFMUSP) is the largest university hospital complex in Brazil. HCFMUSP has been converted into a reference center for coronavirus disease 2019. The Division of Plastic Surgery postponed non-essential surgeries and outpatient consultations, accomplishing new guidelines (ANG) of national and international organizations. Even with these challenges arising from the pandemic, alternatives were considered to maintain institutional characteristics. This study aims to analyze this new scenario and the impact on patients' assistance and Plastic Surgery residents training. Methods Total number of surgeries, type of procedures, and outpatient consultations in 2020, before (pre-ANG) and after (post-ANG) ANG, were compared with the same period in 2019 (2019-pre and 2020-post). Results A marked reduction in the total number of surgeries and outpatient consultations was observed in the post-ANG period. In the post-ANG period, 267 operations were performed (26.7 +/- 20.3/week), while in the 2019-post period, 1036 surgeries were performed (103.6 +/- 9.7/week) (p = 0.0002). Similarly, 1571 consultations were conducted in the post-ANG period (157.1 +/- 93.6/week), while in the 2019-post period, 3907 were performed (390.7 +/- 43.1/week) (p = 0.0003). However, in the post-ANG period, an increase in the proportion of reconstructive compared with aesthetic surgery was observed. The maintenance of highly complex procedures such as microsurgical transplants was also identified. Conclusions The predominant profile of reconstructive surgeries at the Division of Plastic Surgery allowed the continuity of procedures at all technical complexity levels, patient care maintenance, and Plastic Surgery residents training. Level of evidence: not ratable
- Impacto socioeconômico da pandemia da COVID-19 entre cirurgiões plásticos do Brasil(2022) RIBEIRO, RENAN DIEGO AMÉRICO; CARNEIRO, IGOR CASTRO; CLIVATTI, GUSTAVO MOREIRA; ABBAS, LAIELLY; MONTEIRO, GUSTAVO GOMES RIBEIRO; GOLDENBERG, DOV; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT Introduction: Global sanitary crisis caused by the spread of COVID-19 induced many health services to stop performing non-urgent surgical procedures. In the scenario of plastic surgery, where most procedures are elective, socioeconomic consequences are estimated for these specialists. The objective of this study is to measure this impact. Methods: Effects of the pandemic within the clinical practice of Brazilian plastic surgeons were investigated through an online questionnaire addressed to members of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica. Results: A survey was applied to 645 surgeons. Most respondents reported operation restrictions on procedures and income reduction, especially in regions severely affected by the pandemic. Plastic surgeons with more than 10 years of experience were the most affected. High contamination rates, mental overload, decreased physical activity, and psychiatric medications have also been reported. Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic brought changes to the personal and professional life of the Brazilian plastic surgeon. Due to the significant reduction in the workload, there were financial impacts on specialists from all country regions, besides physical and mental health issues. Adaptations were mandatory to maintain services and explore new areas of activity to supply the low demand for cosmetic surgery during the crisis.
