    AbstractSeveral societies have raised the risk of viral transmission of SARS-Cov-2 due to surgical smoke during laparoscopic procedures in infected patients. We propose to discuss this issue and to describe specific measures during laparoscopic procedures and a new homemade closed filtration system for smoke evacuation. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, performing a laparoscopy should meet multi-modal requirements. Surgical smoke evacuation device may be an effective tool in reducing exposure to surgical smoke and aerosols.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
