To the Editor: We appreciated the Letter, “Letter: Neurosurgery and Coronavirus (COVID-19) Epidemic: Doing Our Part” by Pesce et al, published in April 2020 in Neurosurgery. We are grateful to the authors of the Letter for their clear analysis of some neurosurgical procedures in the COVID-19 era. Everyone in the neurosurgical community and in the whole medical community is doing their own part to face this terrible pandemic. Specifically, we would like to present our experience with patients needing a lumbar function or a neuroimaging. We already described our strategy for all emergency patients in an article published in Neurosurgery in April 2020 entitled “In Reply: Rongeurs, Neurosurgeons, and COVID-19: How Do We Protect Health Care Personnel During Neurosurgical Operations in the Midst of Aerosol-Generation From High-Speed Drills?”

Abstract
To the Editor: We appreciated the Letter, “Letter: Neurosurgery and Coronavirus (COVID-19) Epidemic: Doing Our Part” by Pesce et al, published in April 2020 in Neurosurgery. We are grateful to the authors of the Letter for their clear analysis of some neurosurgical procedures in the COVID-19 era. Everyone in the neurosurgical community and in the whole medical community is doing their own part to face this terrible pandemic. Specifically, we would like to present our experience with patients needing a lumbar function or a neuroimaging. We already described our strategy for all emergency patients in an article published in Neurosurgery in April 2020 entitled “In Reply: Rongeurs, Neurosurgeons, and COVID-19: How Do We Protect Health Care Personnel During Neurosurgical Operations in the Midst of Aerosol-Generation From High-Speed Drills?”I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
