摘 要:Operating room fires are receiving increasing attention in the medical literat ure and in the general public. The best way to reduce these iatrogenic, sometime s devastating, events is communication and education. The authors present the ca se of a 14-year-old adolescent girl who had an apparent explosive event during a laparotomy for removal of a large gastric trichobezoar. This event was presum ably associated with gas production under increased pressures in the gastrointes tinal tract caused by an obstructive and decomposing trichobezoar. This is the f irst reported association between trichobezoars and potential intraoperative fir e and/or injury. It is the recommendation of the authors to avoid the use of ele ctrocautery when initially entering a portion of the gastrointestinal tract thou ght to contain a bezoar to avoid the potential for surgical fire or concussive t issue damage.
