AbstractOperating room fires occur very rarely. Nevertheless, a disaster can complicate almost any kind of surgery. The majority of operating room fires result from the use of alcohol- based surgical preparation solutions, electro-surgical equipment, or flammable drapes in an oxygen-rich environment. We report a patient with an ovarian cyst and uterine myomas who suffered a flame burn while undergoing gynecological surgery.
