Electrocautery, Grounding pad, Burn. ,

An electrocautery is a form of direct transference of heat to the tissue which helps in the hemostasis during surgery. We are reporting a case of pregnant woman underwent elective Cesarean-section under spinal anesthesia who suffered deep burns on two legs due to the displacement of grounding pad which had been placed on posteromedial over the malleolus. Post-operative management was not complicated and discharged with some topical preparations to apply on the wounds.
