A patient in a Tokyo hospital has been left with serious burns after she passed wind during an operation that ignited the laser a surgeon was using during the procedure.
The woman, in her 30s, was undergoing surgery at the Tokyo Medical University Hospital which involved a laser being applied to her cervix and lower part of her uterus.
However, as the surgeon carried out the procedure, the patient passed wind as the laser was being used.
It then caused the gas to ignite, sparking a fire, which set her hospital gown and legs ablaze.
She suffered serious burns but is thought to have survived the incident.

I’m with you. There’s not enough methane in a normal fart to set other stuff on fire — in a normal situation.
Otherwise, smoking would have quickly gone out of fashion. But in a highly oxygenated environment, it could happen.

"Ill bet The Joint Commission will develop a new standard on bowel gas release that will add to your hospital bill."Yeah, they probably require the patient to have a cow fart collector in place before laser or electical equipment can be used.

Probable a
rectally inserted bowel gas extraction unit certified for use in operative theaters.
Will cost $50,000 and the disposable collection unit will be $2,000 each.
