Abstract EN
Bladder explosions are a rare complication of transurethral resection of the prostate.
We report a patient who suffered a bladder rupture following transurethral resection of the prostate.
Although explosive gases accumulate during the procedure, a high concentration of oxygen is needed to support an explosion.
This rare phenomenon can be prevented by preventing the flow of room air into the bladder during the procedure to maintain a low concentration of oxygen inside the bladder.
