The fight between the surgeon and the pandemic will be a dragging one since the post-pandemic efflux of the surgical patients coupled with the 'new normal' practices to prevent COVID 19 spread requires pertinent resources, well-trained personnel, and co-operation among different departments. The global impact of the COVID 19 pandemic has challenged the healthcare system worldwide to provide quality care while restricting transmission to non-COVID 19 patients and health care workers (HCW). Since surgery exposes the healthcare team to blood and body fluids of infected patients, surgical specialties have been struggling all this while trying to strike a balance between the evolving guidelines of sick patient management who need surgical care and protecting themselves and their HCW from undue exposure.	./cache/cord-336438-mlgxiyur.txt	./txt/cord-336438-mlgxiyur.txt
