An elective procedure is one that is chosen (elected) by the patient or physician that is advantageous to the patient but is not urgent. Elective surgery is decided by the patient or their doctor. The procedure is seen as beneficial but not absolutely essential at that time Removal of a malignancy , for example, is usually scheduled as semi-elective surgery, to be performed within a set number of days or weeks. Urgent surgery is typically performed within 48 hours of diagnosis. Emergency surgery is performed as soon as a surgeon is available.Many surgeries can be performed as either elective or emergency surgeries, depending on the patient's needs. The aim of the study was to assess the awareness of the effects of pandemic outbreak on elective treatment among general population.
