Anaesthetic Management of a Patient During Transurethral Resection of Prostate with Iatrogenic Intraperitoneal Bladder Explosion: An Atypical Event

ABSTRACT

Transuretheral resection of prostate (TURP) is one of the most commonly performed urological procedure. Though considered to be safe, it is sometimes associated with atypical complications. We hereby report a successful anaesthetic management of bladder explosion, a very rare complication of TURP, occuring towards the end of the procedure at the time of removal of resectoscope. The prompt recognition and management of the same led to uneventful postoperative course.
