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 should be avoided in opening the gastrointestinal lumen.
