CONCLUSIONS: This review highlights postoperative patient outcomes during worldwide epidemics including the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies specific safety measures to minimize infection of healthcare workers. Studies reporting outcomes of patients undergoing surgery during an epidemic-caused hospital lockdown and studies investigating the impact of lockdown on surgical HCW and surgical practice were included. 23,29,35 Fourteen studies described modifying the roles of HCW during epidemics, including formation of an "Emergency Incident Command Team" to identify and separate infected patients from other patients, allowing only essential personnel to be present during procedures, and assigning staff to conduct patient screening full-time. 21 No infections or adverse outcomes were reported for HCW during the SARS epidemics (0/128) from the included studies.	./cache/cord-286932-2gjnpqqa.txt	./txt/cord-286932-2gjnpqqa.txt
