Assiotis A et al. - Nearly half of HSTs in this study did not receive any training in the use of diathermy, resulting in failure to adhere to what is considered best practice. This may lead to adverse events for the patient along with medico-legal consequences. This problem could be overcome by ensuring HSTs receive adequate formal diathermy training and the authors suggest that a dedicated diathermy course is incorporated in basic surgical training curricula.
