  • Surgical Considerations for Gynecologic Oncologists During the COVID-19 Pandemic Sean Dowdy, MD and Amanda Nickles Fader, MD
    Surgical Considerations for Gynecologic Oncologists During the COVID-19 Pandemic Sean Dowdy, MD and Amanda Nickles Fader, MD The COVID-19 pandemic has created unique challenges to providing timely care for our patients. These challenges are particularly distressing for patients with a cancer diagnosis and for providers who care for them. At this time, circumstances vary broadly by region and by hospital depending on COVID-19 prevalence, case mix, hospital type and available resources. For this reason, practice guidelines must be individualized and will vary by location. Special consideration is necessary to evaluate the appropriateness of procedural interventions, recognizing the significant resources they require (i.e., equipment, space and staff). The purpose of this document is to highlight considerations in gynecologic oncology surgical practice that all clinicians and hospitals must plan for. 1. How is surgical urgency determined for gynecologic cancer cases? • Indication for surgery is classified as elective/non-urgent, semi-urgent, and urgent/emergent. • The Elective Surgery Acuity Scale (ESAS), modified here for gynecologic oncology procedures, may assist surgeons with general procedural classification and prioritization (Table 1). Most gynecologic oncology procedural indications will fall into a Tier 3a/b (semi-urgent) category: Table 1: Modified Elective Surgery Acuity Scale (ESAS) Tiers/ Definition Locations Examples Action Description Tier 1a* Low acuity surgery/healthy patient Ambulatory surgical center Surgery for benign-
