title: Thermal injury affecting the small bowel without evidence of bladder perforation following transurethral resection of bladder tumour.
abstract: Thermal bowel injury following transurethral bladder tumour resection is a rare but potentially lethal complication. This article reports a case of isolated bowel perforation without concomitant bladder perforation. Although rare, clinicians should be aware of this complication, so that the diagnosis can be made promptly.
