Abstract

The pandemic related to the Covid-19 virus that began in 2019 in China and then extended to the rest of the world has led to changes in the management of almost all clinical specializations. The main adaptations are due not only to changes in managerial management to better address organizational difficulties but there have also been variations from a treatment and care management point of view with respect to different clinical sectors including that relating to the Neurosurgery sector. In our analysis, the activity of the Department of Neurosurgery in AORN “A. Cardarelli” in Naples (Italy) was analysed. In particular, our analysis aims to investigate variables pre and post pandemic, comparing information gathered in 2019 and 2020. In the specific case, the hospitalizations of 2177 patients were considered in order to understand the influences that the Department has suffered due to the difficulties linked to the pandemic.
