[Perforation as a delayed complication after endoscopic full-thickness resection in a recurrent adenoma of the sigmoid].

We report the case of a 55-year old woman who underwent an endoscopic full-thickness resection with the FTRD® due to a recurrent adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasm in the sigmoid. After primary uncomplicated development, she presented with a secondary perforation with purulent peritonitis seven days after intervention, so a sigmoid-resection was necessary. There were no signs of defects with the FTRD® system or patient-related predisposed parameters, which prefer a perforation.Our case-report demonstrates the necessity for clinical follow up, after primary uncomplicated endoscopic full-thickness resection, to recognize delayed complications.
