Abstract
Gases liberated during transurethral electrosurgery are common to all tissues, with H2 produced in high concentration. The majority of H2 is derived from electrolysis of intracellular water. Only with the addition of outside O2 does the gaseous mixture become potentially explosive.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
