- Abstract
A case of bladder explosion with three wide ruptures that occurred during transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is being reported. Immediate open surgical primary repair of bladder rupture can be obtained without any complication. On the review of the literature, it was found that a limited number of cases have been reported. The main mechanism has been reported as the explosion of the gases, which was produced during electro cauterization and mixed with air oxygen from the atmosphere. A bladder explosion is a rare complication, which can occur during a very common surgical procedure in urological practice. Urologist should alert of the sounds that can be heard during TURP and organ rupture possibility should always be kept in mind as immediate surgical repair is critical for the patient and surgeon.
