QUIROZ-COMPEAN, Alejandro et al. Recommendations for the management of urologic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2020, vol.80, n.3, e08. Epub 07-Mar-2022. ISSN 2007-4085. https://doi.org/10.48193/rmu.v80i3.632.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the modification of medical attention around the world, to reserve the greatest amount of resources for the treatment of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Urology departments, just like the rest of the surgical services, have had to adapt to this situation, reducing the medical attention given to different illnesses and only selecting and attending to emergency consultations, procedures, and surgeries, or to oncologic maladies that cannot be postponed.
The aim of the present review was to make recommendations regarding outpatient consultation management and the correct selection of surgeries and procedures. The postponement of the majority of non-urgent procedures should continue until the COVID-19 pandemic is controlled in Mexico.
