Preliminary Recommendations for Lung Surgery during 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Epidemic Period

In December 2019, China diagnosed the first patient with 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the following development of the epidemic had a huge impact on China and the whole world. For patients with lung occupying lesions, the whole process of diagnosis and treatment can not be carried out as usual due to the epidemic. For thoracic surgeons, the timing of surgical intervention should be very carefully considered. All thoracic surgeons in China should work together to develop the proper procedures for the diagnosis and treatment in this special situation, and continuously update the recommendations based on epidemic changes and further understanding of COVID-19. Here, we only offer some preliminary suggestions based on our own knowledge for further reference and discussion. 【中文题目：新型冠状病毒肺炎流行期肺部手术的初步建议】 【中文摘要：2019年12月，中国确诊首例新型冠状病毒肺炎患者，疫情发展对中国乃至世界产生了巨大影响。对于肺部发现占位性病变患者的整体诊疗流程也 因疫情而不能常规开展。对于胸外科医生而言，外科手术的介入时机需要慎重选择。全国的胸外科同道应根据疫情的改变及对新型冠状病毒肺炎认识的不断更新共同 制定诊治流程和路径。在此，我们仅依据自己的认识提出初步建议，以供参考和进一步讨论。】 【中文关键词：新型冠状病毒肺炎；肺占位性病变；外科手术治疗】.
