The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a disease that spreads through direct contact, droplets, and the fecal-oral route. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia, the measures of the Directorate of Civil Protection to suppress the number of newly infected persons were put into effect. Therefore, in March 2020, a series of epidemiological measures were announced, cutting down the daily activities of citizens. Thus, access to hospital care and referrals was limited. Visits to hospitalized patients were also prohibited, and the elective surgical program, reduced to emergency operations and operations for malignancies, was aborted. During the quarantine, a reduced rate of scheduled appointments and later referral of patients to the Emergency Department with advanced stages of their illness contributed to more frequent complications, including intestinal necrosis. Intestinal necrosis is characterized by cell death due to a sudden reduction or interruption of blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract. The causes of damage to intestinal circulation can be mesenteric thrombosis or embolism, hemorrhagic damage to the intestine, and mechanical ileus. An essential factor in preventing the occurrence and spread of intestinal necrosis is timely recognition of symptoms and seeking medical help on time. This study presents data from patients with intestinal necrosis operated at the Department of Abdominal Surgery, Zadar General Hospital, from March 12 until May 12, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The study aimed to determine whether there is an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of intestinal necrosis in operated patients.
