During the pandemic period, various measures have been taken in Turkey as well as in the whole world. While taking these measures, it has been an important question how to manage the diagnosis and treatment possibilities of other diseases in the COVID-19 epidemic. In this article, the studies carried out in our Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine General Surgery Clinic in terms of diagnosis, treatment and prevention are explained, as well as explaining how the health practices in the clinic follow in this process, it is tried to shed light on the clinical management during the pandemic periods.

The number of patients examined in the outpatient clinic, the number of patients admitted to the ward, the number of surgeries performed, the nature of the surgeries, the period, the urgency, the surgical plan, the outcome of the patients who underwent surgery, the number and outcome of patients hospitalized for treatment, the number of PCR tests performed from inpatients, the PCR positive Parameters such as number of negative / negative were obtained from retrospective files and hospital records. RESULTS: In our study, patient data and demographic information in our clinic during the active period of COVID-19 in Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Department of General Surgery, clinical physician operating data in this period, and COVID-19 conditions in our clinic during this period were evaluated on the basis of patient groups. All three data groups were examined in themselves as two active periods of COVID-19. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: General surgery clinical management in the COVID-19 period is difficult and requires planning. In terms of both patients and working physicians, it is necessary to carry out work without being infected.
