Overview

Colon perforation is a very serious complication of colonoscopy. The correct diagnosis and management of therapy improve the prognosis of patients. The treatment can be conservative, endoscopic and surgical. In this case report we present microperforation as a complication of polypectomy in the caecum during colonoscopy, followed by laparoscopic surgery.

Key words:
colonoscopy –⁠ complication –perforation −⁠ polypectomy
