Using undiluted Bonney's blue during gynecological surgery can cause severe chemical cystitis. This bladder inflammation leads to persistent pain and significant patient compensation.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Bonney's blue, a mixture of brilliant green and crystal violet in ethanol, has been used for bladder instillation in gynecological operations for 50 years.
  • Proper dilution to a 0.5% solution with water is crucial before bladder insertion.

Observation:

  • Undiluted Bonney's blue can cause severe inflammatory reactions within the bladder.
  • The severity of bladder damage correlates with the duration of exposure to the undiluted solution.

Findings:

  • Two cases of chemical cystitis are presented, resulting from the use of undiluted Bonney's blue.
  • Patients experienced persistent pain, frequency, and urgency, with symptoms potentially resolving over time.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Highlights the critical importance of correct Bonney's blue dilution to prevent severe chemical cystitis.
  • Underscores the potential for significant patient harm and subsequent legal ramifications, as evidenced by substantial compensation awards.
