This is a cohort study including 283 patients who underwent breast and urological procedures in three UK centres during the peak of COVID-19. COVID-related 30-day mortality was zero, as well as COVID-related admissions. Only 12 patients developed COVID-19 symptoms, although none had a positive COVID swab. Non-emergency surgery for breast and urological conditions was safe during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided contemporaneous safety measures were followed.
