The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of COVID-19 on proctologic practice in Italy, looking for differences between North, South and Central regions. Multivariable models were fitted using a predefined set of covariates which included respondents' and hospitals' demographics (i.e. geographical area, age, gender, type of hospital, hospital rearrangement, external facilities for proctologic surgery, use of PPE, pre-operative testing policies for COVID -19) . More than a half of respondents had modified the surgical informed consent for both COVID-19 positive (N = 164 [55%]) and negative patients (N = 177 [59%]), by mentioning the higher risk of infection and SARS-COV-2-related complications.	./cache/cord-318468-7s5znn5c.txt	./txt/cord-318468-7s5znn5c.txt
