The current corona virus pandemic (COVID-19) has put the world into an unprecedented global crisis. Health systems have been faced with an enormous challenge to provide the necessary care for this vast burden of patients. As a result, emergency and scheduled care for non-COVID patients has been affected. Objective: Evaluate the effect of the COVID19 pandemic on the management of surgical emergencies at the Yaoundé Emergency Centre.

The data of all patients consulted in surgical emergencies from March to September 2019 and 2020were collected using a review grid inside the registers of surgical emergencies. The analysis was done in Epi-info version 7.2.2.6 and Microsoft Excel software 2016.Results: Data were collected from 2584 patients in surgical emergencies. COVID-19 pandemic has eventually increase the rate of surgical emergencies [aOR=1.13, 95%CI=1.03-1.24, P=0,01] with statistically significant results but didn’t impact significantly the rate of mortality [aOR=0.95, 95%CI=0.64-1.41, P=0,79].
