We would like to thank you again for your interest and participation in our COVID-19 initiative.
A total of 306 institutions from around the world responded (Africa 3, Asia 56, Australia/Oceania 8, Europe 58, USA and Canada 47, Latin America 134), of which many requested guidance for surgical patient management in the setting of COVID-19. Therefore, for this second phase of our initiative, we have chosen to collect and disseminate a compilation of resources and guidelines that are directly relevant to surgical indications/approaches and safety considerations both for patients and healthcare providers. We hope that these resources will help to address some of your questions and concerns.
On behalf of IPOG (International Pediatric Otolaryngology Group)
