To the Editor: We appreciated the manuscript by Chan et al,“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?” published April 2020 in Neurosurgery. We are grateful to the authors of the letter1 for their precise analysis and useful recommendations to fellow neurosurgeons and trainees to uphold the traditional craft of using hand drills and rongeurs in order to minimize aerosol generation from the neurosurgical-powered instruments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, we write in reply to present our surgical experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

To the Editor: We appreciated the manuscript by Chan et al,“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?” published April 2020 in Neurosurgery. We are grateful to the authors of the letter1 for their precise analysis and useful recommendations to fellow neurosurgeons and trainees to uphold the traditional craft of using hand drills and rongeurs in order to minimize aerosol generation from the neurosurgical-powered instruments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, we write in reply to present our surgical experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
