The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the new disease by COVID-19 a global pandemic, the United States and many countries; guided by the trajectory of cases in other European countries; In support of the world's most influential surgical authorities and associations, they recommend postponing elective procedures, and only considering urgent or vital procedures and oncological surgeries. With the little information obtained so far, a review of the available literature was performed from January to April 2020 based on studies of patients undergoing surgery during the incubation period of COVID-19, where it could be stated that elective surgery represents a risk factor in people infected with COVID-19, increasing morbidity, risk of spread and need for intensive therapy unit requirement, with a significant fatal outcome rate.
