    Author: Georgios K, Evangelos B, Helai H, Ioannis G.
    Journal: Scott Med J; 2015 May; 60(2):e25-6. PubMed ID: 25680867.
    Abstract:
    Intravesical explosion is a very rare complication of transurethral resection of prostate and transurethral resection of bladder tumour operations. In vitro studies have shown that the gases produced during the procedure could result in a blast once they are mixed with air from the atmosphere. A 79-year-old male experienced an explosion in his bladder while undergoing a transurethral resection of bladder tumour. The case is presented as well as the way that it was treated as an emergency. Precautions of such events are finally suggested.
