Abstract :Abstract: Objective: COVID-19 has caused a rapid transformation in the healthcare system, including in particular, the care of vulnerable cancer patients. The aim of this study was to present our clinical experience in gynecological cancer surgeries in a COVID-19-free cancer hospital during the pandemic. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of the data of patients with ovarian, endometrium, cervix and vulva cancers who were treated with surgery between March 2020 and March 2021, with particular focus on the complication rates on day 30, and at the end of one year. Results: The study included a total of 74 patients with mean age of 59 years. The most common diagnosis was ovarian cancer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(48.6%); followed by endometrial insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(43.2%);, cervical insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.8%); and vulvar cancer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.4%);. Most of the patients were in advanced stage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FIGO 3 and 4); of ovarian insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(86%);, endometrial insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(59.4%); and cervical local advanced insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(60%); cancer. The complication rate was 17.6 %. Surgery was delayed in one patient with a preoperative positive polymerase chain reaction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PCR); test for COVID-19 infection, and none of the patients had a positive test result in the early postoperative period. Conclusion: COVID-19-free institutions for cancer surgery, is an effective treatment strategy in the context of the pandemic. The results of this study indicate that continuity of cancer treatment can be achieved safely, with strict adherence to COVID-19 precautions for both patients and healthcare workers.
