Surgical diathermy is widely used in modern operating rooms, although explosion in the gastrointestinal tract is a known serious complication. We report a case of colonic explosion following use of diathermy. Based on our experience and the available data, it is recommended that in cases of gastrointestinal tract obstruction, poor bowel preparation or following use of oral mannitol for bowel preparation, diathermy should be avoided in opening the gastrointestinal lumen.
外科透热疗法在现代手术室中被广泛使用，尽管胃肠道爆炸是一种已知的严重并发症。我们报告一例使用透热疗法后发生结肠爆炸的病例。根据我们的经验和现有数据，建议在胃肠道梗阻、肠道准备不佳或使用口服甘露醇进行肠道准备后，打开胃肠道管腔时应避免使用透热疗法。
