Patients undergoing surgery are a vulnerable risk of COVID-19 exposure/infection. The aim of the study was to determine the characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in a third level reference hospital in Mexico. IRB approved observational study (prospectively collected database) of general and surgical oncology procedures from 04/20-08/20. Patients preoperative data and surgical cases registered. COVID-19 detection was a combination of polymerase chain reaction swab and chest computed tomography. Primary endpoints were 30 d surgical mortality and complications, including COVID-19 infection during hospitalization. 193 patients were included (mean age 53.9 years, 63.7% female). 52.8% procedures were performed by surgical oncology. 42.4% developed a complication with 8.3% mortality. COVID-19 infection was 11.3% (n = 22). Postoperative morbidity (81.3 vs. 37.4%, p = 0.0001) and mortality (27.3 vs. 5.8%, p = 0.0001) was higher in COVID-19 (+) patients. Factors associated with COVID-19 infections were sex, functional status, preoperative sepsis and ventilation, renal failure and dialysis (univariate analysis) and sepsis and renal failure (multivariate analysis). COVID-19 infection was associated with respiratory complications (54.5 vs. 2.9%), surgical site infection (27.3 vs. 10.5%), postoperative transfusions (59.1 vs. 31.6%), renal failure (54.5 vs. 8.2%), sepsis (68.2 vs. 22.2%), reintervention (22.7 vs. 7.6%), readmission (18.2 vs. 4.1%), and death (27.3 vs. 5.8%) (p <0.05). Postoperative morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients is high. Surgical procedures should be thoughtfully reviewed with a plan to minimize scheduled operations. Postoperative morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients is high. Surgical procedures should be thoughtfully reviewed w
