At a glance: The impact of COVID ‐19 on emergency general surgery
ConclusionOverall, there were delayed hospital presentations by patients by almost twice as long, an increase in paediatric referrals, a surge in performed scans, and a reduction in hospital stay in patients managed conservatively.

Future studies should explore the impact on paediatric referrals and long ‐term effects on surgical training. (Source: Surgical Practice)
