2017 WSES guidelines for the management of iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation

Abstract: Iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation (ICP) is a severe complication that can occur during both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Although 45–60% of ICPs are diagnosed by the endoscopist while performing the colonoscopy, many ICPs are not immediately recognized but are instead suspected on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms that occur after the endoscopic procedure. There are three main therapeutic options for ICPs: endoscopic repair, conservative therapy, and surgery. The therapeutic approach must var… Show more

“…There have been case reports of colonic perforations of lesser magnitude managed conservatively with bowel rest and antibiotics. There have also been studies supporting endoscopic repair such as endoscopic clipping or suturing closure [14]. However, in the case we present, the patient's condition was unstable, and the complications of colonic perforation were so extensive that surgical intervention was necessary.…”

“…Although iatrogenic colonic perforation due to colonoscopy has low incidence, perforation can have catastrophic consequences with up to 25% mortality [14]. The rate of colonic perforation is higher during therapeutic colonoscopy compared to diagnostic colonoscopy, with incidences estimated at 0.02%-8.0% and 0.016%-0.8%, respectively [15].…”

“…In the English literature, only five other reports (10 cases) of delayed perforation after EMR and ESD with non-surgical management have been reported[ 8 - 12 ] (Table 1 ). The decision to conduct an endoscopic operation also depends on the perforation size, endoscopist’s experience, and instruments available[ 2 , 15 , 20 - 23 ]. During endoscopic closure, carbon dioxide insufflation is generally preferred to prevent barotrauma because this gas is absorbed more quickly than air[ 24 ].…”

“…[9] The 2017 World Society of Emergency Surgery guideline [ Figure 4] suggests endoscopic closure be reserved for patients with small perforations (<20 mm), good bowel preparation, and minimal peritoneal signs. [10] With growing experience, endoscopic clipping has been applied for closure of larger (>30 mm) defects as well. [9] Close hemodynamic monitoring, broad-spectrum antibiotics and nil per orally form an essential part of the management plan till bowel function returns.…”

“…[9] Close hemodynamic monitoring, broad-spectrum antibiotics and nil per orally form an essential part of the management plan till bowel function returns. [10] The superficial apposition of colon wall seems sufficient for the healing of perforation, and the reported success rate with this approach ranges from 69% to 93%. [4] The risk factors associated with the need for early surgical intervention after endoscopic clip closure includes large perforation size, leukocytosis, fever, severe abdominal pain, and a large amount of free peritoneal air.…”
