چکیده (انگلیسی):

y The object of this study is to report a rare case of explosion during laparotomy
where diathermy ignited intraperitoneal gas from a spontaneous stomach perforation. Fortunately,
the patient survived but the surgeon experienced a finger burn. A literature review
demonstrates other examples of intraoperative explosion where gastrointestinal gases were
the fuel source. Lessons learned from these cases provide recommendations to prevent this
potentially lethal event from occurring.
