“…In Israel, the incidence is estimated to occur in one of 2864 procedures (0.03%). [4] Considering the increasing numbers of screening, diagnostic, and therapeutic colonoscopies being performed every year, the frequency of ICP is not negligible.…”

Background: Iatrogenic colon perforation (ICP) due to colonoscopy, is a severe complication and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The global estimated incidence of ICP is 0.03% and up to 3% for diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopies, respectively. Treatment options include endoscopic repair, conservative therapy, and surgery. Treatment decision is based on the time and the setting of the diagnosis, the type and location of the perforation, the presence of related pathologies, the clinical status and characteristic of the patient, and surgeon's skills. We present our experience in the treatment of ICPs. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of all patients suffering from ICP at Bnai-Zion medical center between 1/1/2010 and 1/3/2021. Clinical presentation, therapeutic approach and short-term outcomes were analyzed. Results: There were 51 cases of ICPs. 14(27%) were diagnosed by the gastroenterologist during the procedure, 2 of whom were treated with endoscopic clips. The rest of the patients (72.5%) were diagnosed in the ER after a CT scan. Forty-three patients (84%) went on to operative management: 5 (11%) operations started with laparotomy – All were conducted in the early study period (until 2013). All other operations (88%) started with a diagnostic laparoscopy, 4 of whom (10%) were converted to laparotomy. Out of the 38 laparoscopic cases 29(80%) were treated with primary suturing. 7 patients went on to colon resection (5 of whom with primary anastomosis). 6 patients required ICU admission – with 1/38(2%) from the laparoscopic cases, and 5/9(55%) from the laparotomy cases. 48/51(94%) patients recovered and were discharged after 5±2 for conservative and laparoscopic cases, and 12±9 for open cases. Conclusion: Laparoscopic treatment of ICP is safe and feasible in most cases. Our data supports a laparoscopic attempt at any such scenario.
