Summary
Postoperative buttock skin lesions may stem from ischemia-reperfusion injury, not electrosurgical burns. Further studies are needed to confirm the roles of perioperative factors in these painful complications.
Area of Science:
- Surgical complications
- Dermatology
- Physiology
Background:
- Postoperative buttock skin lesions are rare but painful complications.
- They are often misattributed to electrosurgical burns, but electrophysical plausibility is questionable.
- Clinical presentations suggest alternative etiologies.

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
