According to the complaint description the event occurred during robotic rectopexy procedure.During retraction of the bowel, it was largely touching the endoscope shaft for a longer period of the procedure, which resulted in a burning track on the bowel.The endoscope was hot and impacted the tissue.The bowel was over sutured on the specific places of burns.There were some serosa burns present on the bowel.The procedure was converted to laparoscopic for additional suturing and double-checking bowel.The procedure was extended 30 minutes or more due to the problem.
