Explosion of the urinary bladder during transurethral resection of the prostate

Baldvinsdóttir, Bryndís LU ; Gíslason, Þorsteinn and Jonsson, Eirikur (2014) In Scandinavian Journal of Urology 48(6). p.571-572
Abstract
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Complications during the procedure are rare. An extremely rare complication is a rupture of the urinary bladder. This article reports a case where an explosion occurred during TURP, resulting in a large intraperitoneal rupture of the urinary bladder. The patient underwent emergency laparotomy to repair the bladder.
