May prompt caution with electrocautery in pacemaker patients; leaves open need for systematic perioperative studies.
Case Report (n=1)
Transurethral electrocautery can cause pacemaker malfunction in patients with demand pacemakers, highlighting the need for caution during surgical procedures.
Roy Smith (1971) conducted a case report in Pacemaker malfunction (n=1). Transurethral electrocautery was evaluated on Pacemaker malfunction. Transurethral electrocautery caused an unusual complication of pacemaker malfunction in an 81-year-old man with a transvenous pacemaker.
