Delivering Robotic Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, we paused our 6-speciality, multi-disciplinary robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Four specialities restarted the program in a COVID-19 safe ‘green zone’ in June 2020. Herein, we report the outcomes of patients who had RAS during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared it to the immediate pre-COVID period.
