We would like to report our experience after 1 year of this pandemic in the surgical service of a district hospital in Spain. There have been many changes (including new protocols) that our service and the hospital have undergone, to adapt to the new situation. We believe that this experience can be useful for other professionals who have lived and are living a similar situation.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/COVID-19ExperienceHospitalServiceSurgeryTreatmentresearch article34447807open access10.12998/wjcc.v9.i23.6582PMC8362517https://doi.org/10.12998/wjcc.v9.i23.6582https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8362517/pdf
