Early in the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic stay-at-home guidelines, there were public health orders that elective surgeries be deferred to prioritize hospital beds for critically ill COVID-19 patients. Besides, several reasons led to the postponement of consultations, diagnostic tests, and elective therapeutic procedures. As a result, some women with endometriosis faced chronification of their pain and decreased prospects for pregnancy. The aim of this study was to describe individual responses to minimally invasive complete excision of endometriosis through 40 days of follow-up of women whose endometriosis was considered severe enough to proceed with surgery during the fourth, fifth, and sixth months of constraints imposed by the pandemic. Preventive strategies and safety measures employed to protect patients and staff from acquiring or transmitting Coronavirus infection are presented. Case Presentation. This case series report enrolled 11 consecutive Brazilian women (ages 22 to 47\u2009y) who underwent minimally invasive surgical treatment of endometriosis between June 26 and August 17, 2020. Cases of endometriosis requiring more urgent surgery were promptly identified and considered individually. The strict safety measures were well accepted by patients. No women developed any flu-like or COVID-19-related symptoms (cough, dyspnea, fever, or anosmia) in the 40 days of postoperative follow-up. One of the most praised measures reported by patients was the routine testing of the patient, the person who would accompany her in the hospital, and all medical staff and employees. Discussion. It is feasible to safely perform elective endometriosis surgery in selected cases during a pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/5040873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,27]],"date-time":"2021-10-27T04:06:25Z","timestamp":1635307585000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endometriosis Surgery during the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Brazilian Single Institution Experience"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4371-4754","authenticated-orcid":true,"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Claudio Peixoto","family":"Crispi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Crispi Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3275-2947","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Claudio Peixoto","family":"Crispi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Crispi Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4538-344X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Eduardo","family":"de Almeida Nogueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anestesia Carioca Servi\u00e7os M\u00e9dicos, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2445-7502","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pietro Cardoso","family":"Balthar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anestesia Carioca Servi\u00e7os M\u00e9dicos, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9223-2551","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Camilla Gabriely Souza","family":"Guerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Crispi Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8568-324X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marlon","family":"de Freitas Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Crispi Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Women\u2019s Health-Fernandes Figueira National Institute for Women, Children and Youth Health-Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/0100-6991e-20202649"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5468\/ogs.2018.61.5.605"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-017-3531-0"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2017.6432"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2011.12.019"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dmv003"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jogoh.2018.06.003"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gofs.2018.02.006"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.6061\/clinics\/2020\/e2083"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0040296"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2018.10.031"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2014.02.012"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/det457"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.13248"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0250046"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/DCR.0000000000001890"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0167482X.2020.1757200"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.13359"},{"issue":"1","key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1186\/s12958-020-00605-z","article-title":"POSEIDON (Patient-Oriented Strategies Encompassing IndividualizeD Oocyte Number) group.
