Risk factors and management of iatrogenic colorectal perforation in diagnostic colonoscopy: a single-center cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Additional precautions are required to prevent perforation in elderly patients, hospital settings, low BMI, sedated patients, or by a doctor with slight familiarity with endoscopies (but still insufficient experience). Endoscopic treatment should be actively considered if diagnosis is prompt, abdominal pain absent, and especially the rectal perforation is present.PMID:38380637 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2316766
