I know there will be lots of jokes on this thread, but on a serious note, wouldn’t that be something that doctors would be aware of and take precautions against? I don’t know what is normal during surgery, but if I had to guess, I’d guess farting is not rare.

Any FReepers out there with medical experience?

No, but I have plenty of farting experience.

With people there, they can quickly extinguish an unexpected fire.

Alone in a room with robots, the robots don’t care.

It’s a real danger with use of a laser. One way to prevent it is to place a packing of vaseline gauze in the rectum to prevent escape of flatus (farts) during the surgery.
