description • This is an insightful perspective by surgeons in Italy and the USA on the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of surgeons. • Surgeons have been side-lined to supportive roles in this crisis and the focus has been on emergency and intensive care. • Re-establishment of Elective surgery will focus on delayed cancer patients, approaches will differ across the world. • Altered healthcare seeking behaviour has led to reduced emergency activity; there may be a later rebound surge in demand. • Trainees have had their training put on hold, many will inevitably require an extension to their training.
