During hemostasis, a sudden loud popping sound was noted, followed by an intravesical explosion and subsequent bladder rupture. Emergent laparoscopic exploration confirmed a full-thickness intraperitoneal bladder rupture, which was surgically repaired. The patient required an 11-day intensive care unit stay and prolonged urethral catheterization due to reduced bladder capacity. At 1-year follow-up, the catheter had been successfully removed, and the patient remained under conservative follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intravesical gas explosion is a rare but potentially severe complication of transurethral prostate surgery.
