Bladder Explosion During Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Repaired Laparoscopically: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Medical Principles and Practice : International Journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre 2018 October 12
OBJECTIVE: To report on a case of intravesical explosion during transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) which was managed laparoscopically and to review the relevant literature.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION: During TURP, a loud explosion was heard and a jolt was felt in abdomen. A bladder tear was seen endoscopically. Systematic laparoscopic exploration showed no injury to abdominal organs apart from the irregular large bladder tear which was repaired laparoscopically. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
CONCLUSION: Bladder explosion during TURP is an extremely rare and serious complication. It should be considered as a blast injury and systematic exploration of abdominal organs and vessels should be performed. The severity and urgency of the condition should not preclude the use of laparoscopy for exploration and repair.
