    AbstractThe outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic pointed out that the need to ensure emergent surgery in patients positive for infection is no longer hypothetical. Among emergency procedures, thoracic surgical operations are frequent. A standardized surgical pathway is mandatory to achieve effective and safe management of this subset of patients. We briefly present the protocol adopted by our thoracic surgery division.© 2020 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Published by Elsevier.
