Introduction: The world was surprised by COVID - 19 Pandemic, a viral infection caused by SARS-COV-2, which started in Wuhan, People’s Republic of China, in December 2019. In addition to this new disease, the entire Brazil continued to deal with other diseases that have plagued our patients for decades. We present a case report of infection of the peritoneal cavity operative site that occurred at the beginning of the Pandemic by COVID-19 in Brazil. Case Report: patient who underwent radical prostatectomy, evolved with infection of the operative site 30 days after surgery, had a collection in the abdominal wall that was interconnected with pelvis cavity that could be drained with a wall drain. Discussion: The rate of infection of the operative site can reach up to 5% in radical prostatectomy surgeries, which is an acceptable rate. The beginning of the Pandemic in Brazil prevented the patients from returning to the big hospitals to some extent, either due to fear or uncertainty. Conclusion: We present a case of infection of the surgical site that coincided with the beginning of the Coronavirus Pandemic in Brazil that can be treated in a Basic Health Unit.
