Do not deposit sharp or sharp instruments on a Mayo table (unless it is previously established as a neutral zone). 5. Use alternative cutting systems as much as usual (electronic scalpel). 6. Prioritize mechanical sutures. 7. Observe recommendations regarding exsufflation in laparoscopy in order to avoid aerosols as much as possible. 8.

Thoroughly clean the operating room (minimum one hour between procedures) with decontamination of all surfaces, screens, cables, monitors and anesthetic machine. 5. Vaporization with hydrogen peroxide is suggested to decontaminate the operating room. 6. Adjust the postoperative prescription to the needs of the patient, applying treatment protocols.
