Synopsis
This section examines the protective measures necessary in surgical procedures for patients infected with or suspected of having Monkeypox (Mpox). Due to the virus's high transmissibility and risk of severe complications, surgical teams are particularly vulnerable to infection, especially given the virus's potential for respiratory transmission. To reduce this risk, evidence-based infection control measures are recommended, including the use of full protective equipment by healthcare personnel, maintaining safe distances, and opting for single-use materials when possible. Additionally, regular disinfection of surgical equipment is crucial for the safety of both patients and healthcare staff. These measures play a critical role in preventing the spread of Monkeypox in surgical settings, while future studies are encouraged to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of these precautions, with this section serving as a foundation for such evaluations.
