Objective: To determine the epidemiological, clinical, and surgical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 undergoing emergency surgery at the Lambayeque Regional Hospital in 2020. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective, and observational study. All the physical medical records of COVID-19 patients who underwent emergency surgery by the general surgery service in 2020 at the Lambayeque Regional Hospital were collected. The data obtained were entered from a data collection sheet to an Excel sheet (Microsoft 365 version 2205) and then to the SPSS (version 21.0) for analysis, where the clinical and surgical epidemiological characteristics were analyzed with their respective dimensions such as sex, comorbidities, surgical risk, degree of respiratory failure, surgical pathology, surgical intervention, etc. Results: It included 88 patients, with a median age of 26.5 years, mostly men (61%). 25% of the cases had some comorbidity but the main ones were arterial hypertension (8%) and obesity (7%). The most frequent cardiac surgical risks were SR I (50%) and SR II (45.5%). Most patients did not present respiratory failure (94.3%). The median time elapsed from the beginning of complaints to admission to the emergency department was 94.13 hours. The 90.9% of patients didn’t require immediate postoperative oxygen. The most frequent surgical pathology was acute appendicitis (76.1%), likewise, the primary surgical intervention was appendectomy (76.1%). The median postoperative hospital stay time was 3 days. Conclusion: The most common characteristics of patients with COVID-19 operated in the emergency were male sex, ages between 16 and 48 years, without comorbidity, and the most common operation was appendectomy.
