Abstract
After the outbreak of COVID-19, several issues in the field of general surgery have remained unknown. Here we present two consecutive patients operated on in a coronavirus center in February 2020, during the outbreak in Tehran, Iran. Moreover, we highlight some challenges surgeons face in the management of these patients during the outbreak. We suggest surgeons to perform the safest technique with the least risk. In borderline conditions, it is suggested to prefer stoma over anastomosis. This lessens the course of hospitalization and probable complication rates. We suggest establishing clean centers and prepare guidelines for the general surgery team members to lessen the risk for patients and healthcare providers.
