[Plastic Surgery in times of COVID-19 in a maximum care hospital in Berlin - Description of the situation and approaches to action for resumption of regular operation].

This article illustrates the recent developments in Plastic Surgery, which faces new challenges in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the example of a Plastic Surgery department in a maximum care clinic facility in Berlin, we show recent courses of action, that may be relevant for other hospitals and that can possibly help to handle the recent situation as well as possible further waves of infections and to create a constructive way back into Plastic Surgery routine.A view into the future also shows, that in the context of COVID-19 new tasks will challenge our discipline in clinics as well as in private practice.
