Internally, we had to face difficult choices due to the intense competition for surgical theaters between multiple specialties, the constant influx of neurosurgical emergencies and, last but not least, the need to keep up with our centralization of neuro-oncology cases. Finally, anticipating the possible medico-legal consequences of the crisis and to ensure accountability in all our decisions, our neurosurgical department established a COVID-19 period "Registry", which hopefully will enable us to monitor the clinical progression of our patients and provide data for better understanding the impact of the pandemic on our surgical practice. ./cache/cord-335744-haj5a7tf.txt ./txt/cord-335744-haj5a7tf.txt
