Patient Counseling in Plastic Surgery during Coronavirus Disease 2019	2020-05-13		.txt	text/plain	593	52	45	1 In response, hospitals have implemented significant changes to normal operating procedures to address anticipated needs of infected patients. It is, therefore, critical that both surgeons and patients understand additional risks present in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, there is a lack of evidence demonstrating how infected patients tolerate routine procedures, including physiologic response to surgery and anesthesia. First, there appears to be an increased risk of thromboembolic complications in COVID-19-positive patients. Due to unforeseen issues related to the pandemic, patients may experience atypically long delays to the second procedure. For example, evidence regarding the safety of delaying versus performing nonelective, nonemergent surgery (eg, skin cancer resection) in patients at risk for severe COVID-19 infection (eg, elderly and/or comorbidities) is limited. First, during the informed consent process, in addition to case-specific risks, benefits, and alternatives, implications of surgery during the pandemic must be discussed and documented accordingly.	./cache/cord-293378-bi3lcj09.txt	./txt/cord-293378-bi3lcj09.txt
