Millions of elective surgical procedures were cancelled worldwide during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.1 This enabled redistribution of staff and resources to provide care for patients with COVID-19 and addressed evidence that perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection increases postoperative mortality.2 Although some hospitals established COVID-19-free surgical pathways to create safe elective surgery capacity,3 the National Health Service (NHS) in England has not returned to pre-pandemic elective surgery activity levels. ...we did not explore regional variation, which could arise as a result of differences in resource availability, accessibility of COVID-19-free surgical pathways, or baseline surgical case mix. ...we have not addressed differences between surgical specialties.
