Recommendations for Reopening Endoscopy Units in Turkey: A Set-up Plan from a Tertiary Center in Istanbul
Öz: In the midst of Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, endoscopic procedures have been separated for only urgent and semi-urgent
cases for the last few months to prevent transmission in endoscopy units. This approach will perhaps resolve the burden of elective procedures
in the months ahead of us. As we observe a downtrend in new cases of COVID-19 in Turkey, a strategy for reopening endoscopy
units is required. We are stepping into a time period where we should not only re-provide the essential services to our patients but also
maintain the safety of healthcare workers and preserve the valuable personal protective equipment as well. Herein, we aim to share the
available knowledge in performing endoscopy during the pandemic and the set-up plan of a tertiary center in Istanbul for reopening the
endoscopy unit in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.
