Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Introduction Most countries imposed mandatory lockdowns that were rapidly lifted, however Argentina holds the record for one of the longest quarantines in the world. General surgery emergency conditions and trauma cases still require immediate evaluation and timely resolution. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the variations in the consults, surgical outcomes and severity of disease in admissions at our department of general surgery and to study the consequences of the lockdown effect in our community.

Materials and methods An observational, ambispective study was carried out on a prospective cohort of patients who consulted with on-call surgical pathology and required hospitalization in the period from March 13th, 2020 until July 31, 2020 (PG) were included, analyzed and compared with the same period of 2019 (CG).
