“…Following duplicate removal and article screening, 20 studies were included in the final data synthesis. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] The main characteristics of the included studies are outlined in Table 1 . We identified 5 letters to the editor, 12 expert opinions, 1 review, 1 survey and 1 case report.…”

“…Reissis et al optimised triage by categorising surgical cases into the following levels of urgency: operate immediately, operate urgently, operate in the order of presentation and no surgery. 32 Armstrong et al suggested managing patients on a 'see and treat' basis for complex reconstructive procedures. 22 For skin cancers, Reissis et al, and Der Sarkissian et al prioritised malignant melanomas, triaged treatment of squamous cell carcinoma according to prognostic variables and deferred treatment for basal cell carcinoma.…”

“…Reissis et al set up a 'onestop' minor operations room, where procedures using local anaesthesia or the Wide Awake Local Anaesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) technique can be undertaken. 32 The ever-changing nature of the COVID-19 may prompt plastic surgeons to adapt the strategies discussed in this review as pandemic progresses and subsequently declines. Furthermore, conditions that were managed conservatively during the pandemic (i.e.…”

The World Health Organisation characterised the spread of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) as a pandemic in March 2020, signalling medical governance and professional organisations worldwide to make urgent changes in their service. We have performed a systematic review of the literature to identify all published literature on plastic surgery and COVID-19, in an effort to summarise the evidence for future reference. Our search identified 1207 articles from electronic databases and 17 from manual search, out of which 20 were included in the final data synthesis. Out of the included studies, most originated from the United States (n = 12), five from Europe, two from China and one from Australia. Strategies described to limit the spread and impact of the virus could be divided into nine distinct categories, including the suspension of non-essential services, use of telemedicine, use of personal protective equipment, screening patients for COVID-19, restructuring the healthcare team, adapting standard management practices, using distance-learning for trainees, promoting public education and initiatives, and minimising intra-hospital viral transmission. The ever-changing nature of the COVID-19 may prompt plastic surgeons to adapt special strategies as pandemic progresses and subsequently declines. The findings of this review can prove beneficial to other plastic surgery

“…5 – 9 Internationally, many recommendations regarding operating on elective procedures during and after the pandemic were published. 16 – 18 The American College of Surgeons advised that a day-by-day, data-driven assessment of the changing risk–benefit analysis will be needed to directly tailor care provided to patients. 17 The American Society of Plastic Surgeons advised many surgeons and institutions to abide by local health regulations and monitor the situation in their respective communities before returning to work.…”

Background: With the labeling of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, national directives were issued instructing to close all cosmetic clinics, suspend all cosmetic procedures, and only operate on an emergency basis. As a result, many plastic surgeons faced challenges sustaining their practice. We aimed to investigate the effect of these national directive instructions on the surgeons and to review their strategies for adapting their practices during this new pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using an online questionnaire. It was constructed to assess the attitudes and practices of plastic surgeons in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries during the COVID-19 lockdown. It also explored their strategies on reopening their practice, as well as their plans on modifications of practice during and after the lockdown. Results: In total, 197 surgeons responded to the survey. The majority were from Saudi Arabia (42.1%), followed by the United Arab Emirates (37.6%), with relatively smaller participation from the remaining countries. Over two-thirds (69.5%) indicated that the pandemic had affected their practice. Surgeons in private practices were significantly affected (P < 0.001) compared with those in the public sector. Only 39% of respondents mentioned COVID-19 testing as part of their post-pandemic surgical protocol. Conclusions: Surgeons’ responses to the pandemic varied. Fear and future uncertainty significantly led to a surge in the utilization of different technical means to maintain the patient pool. Surgeons’ education about post-pandemic precautions is essential to maintain high standards of care in the region.

The paper presents recommendations determined to assist logistic companies in conceiving an efficient B2B implementation policy with the aim of enhancing market competitiveness, especially in time of intensified market competition. The research is based on an analysis of the situation in B2B implementation during the period of the 2008-2009 economic crisis, where – on a sample of 229 logistic companies based in the Czech Republic – it ascertains whether the extent of B2B implementation changed over this period. This is done in a short-time (2006 vs. 2010) as well as long-time (extended with 2014 vs. 2018) horizon. Although some conclusions are in contradiction with other authors, they state a high extent of B2B implementation, which even further increased over the above economic crisis and even continued in a longer time horizon following the crisis. The conclusions are then analogically transferred to the present 2020 “coronavirus economic recession” and practicable recommendations are formulated. Being made on a high level of reliability, the recommendations have a potential to serve as an efficient tool ensuring economic “survival” of logistic companies, which is – especially in the field of logistics due to the implemented anti-COVID measures creating new trade barriers – very actual.
