Abstract
Glutaraldehyde is a widely used disinfectant, especially in developing countries, for fast and effective disinfection of laparoscopic instruments that are not suitable for sterilization in an autoclave. This case report demonstrates that even small residual amounts of glutaraldehyde on inadequately cleaned laparoscopic instruments can cause chemical burns during laparoscopic surgery. Our goal is to raise awareness of the possible hazardous effect of glutaraldehyde when necessary measures are not taken properly to clean laparoscopic instruments.
