Description
Summary:SARS-CoV-2 become a particular reason for improving protection to healthcare workers. Those procedures requires protection not only from COVID-19 transmission, but also many infectious disease probability. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) are several procedures which contain transmission risks that become an obstacle in the procedures. Contacts between healthcare workers and patients during the procedures involving interstitial fluids from patients such as blood and urinary fluids that can be very infectious if the fluids contaminated to healthcare workers’ body through the water after entering the patient’s kidney.
