FIGUEROA-GUTIERREZ, Luis Mauricio. COVID-19 in Pediatric Surgery. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.203-208. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.621.

The infection by COVID-19 has generated a flow of information derived from the professionals’ daily experience, which has allowed the rapid learning and knowledge of the clinical characteristics, diagnostic and treatment methods available to date. This new condition has conditioned the different medical specialties to promptly develop guidelines and recommendations aimed to guarantee the care of affected patients and the least possible transmission to health personnel. Pediatric surgery has not been the exception, so it is intended to compile in this review some of the most relevant aspects regarding the participation of our specialty in this pandemic.
