Undergoing surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic makes some people feel uneasy but doctors say it s safe and itâs important not to neglect medical needs.
Dr. Clark Gerhart, a general surgeon at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, said delaying surgery because of fear of catching or spreading COVID-19 can allow someone s condition to deteriorate, making the surgery more difficult with a higher risk of complications. A patient who becomes more ill due to delayed care can have longer hospital stays and higher costs, he said.
Gerhart said patients have postponed all kinds of procedures during the pandemic including following up on mammograms, which can help find breast cancer at an early stage. People also have been late in scheduling colonoscopies, which can help prevent cancer from even starting, he said.
