Examination and Treatment Scenario in Urogynecology Case During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review

Abstract

The number of COVID-19 cases continues to increase therefore health services in hospitals must adapt
to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the services that must be affected is urogynecology services. This
study aims to examine scenarios in the examination and treatment of patients with urogynecological cases
in hospitals during a pandemic. A non-systematic review examines several scientific articles related to
recommendations. The articles were searched through the PubMed and Google Scholar databases with the
keywords “urogynecology patient” or “hospital” or “treatment” or “urogynecology care” and “COVID-19”.
Data is arranged in the form of scenarios and narrative reviews. The scenario carried out is telemedicine,
except for certain severe cases, so one must go to the hospital with a record of patient protection against
COVID-19. It is possible to use online to prevent the accumulation of patients in the hospital. Management
emphasizes non-surgical solutions such as lifestyle, nutritional patterns, behavioral concepts, and periodic
drug administration. Implementation is carried out with preconditions, namely patient safety, an integrated
system related to payment and prescription of drugs. Things that need to be underlined in telemedicine
governance are the need for adequate counseling and good cooperation between doctors and patients because
this will affect diagnosis and management. This effort makes it possible to break the chain of infection
in urogynecology services and the need for further research related to a complete and comprehensive
application system
