The possibility of virus transmission during minimally invasive surgery

Author(s): Airy Sofi*

The surgical smoke that accumulated during various laparoscopic procedures (colorectal resections, gastrostomies, and hepatic wedge resections). Other clinical trials pointed to a consistent risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission after surgical procedures for HPV-related diseases (mainly genital warts, laryngeal papillomas, or cutaneous lesions). Although preclinical research produced mixed results, HPV was found to have a significant probability of transmission. Although all the information is derived from several viruses and the virus has been detected in faces and blood, the potential risk of virus diffusion by surgical smoke cannot be completely ruled out. To comprehend the precise existence of the virus and its concentration in the surgical smoke of various surgical operations, specific clinical studies are required.
