Abstract
BACKGROUND
Iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation (ICP) is a rare but most serious complication during colonoscopy investigation. However, endoscopic closure plays an important role in the dealing with ICP with the development of endoscopic techniques presently, there are still some portion of patients transferred to surgery.
METHODS
Once a perforation was detected, endoclips were used to closed the defect of the colon. Then a colonic TET was planted inside the colon. The terminal end of the TET was put proximally to or near the location of the perforation. Then gas and fluid was sucked out through the TET with a syringe every 4 h.
RESULTS
Three cases were treated with endoclip closure and colonic TET drainage. Case 1 was caused by urgent immediate perforation during routine colonoscopy, case 2 was delayed perforation after snare resection, and case 3 was ESD-related perforation. All patients got healed, no one transferred to surgery.
CONCLUSIONS
A combination of endoclip closure and colonic TET drainage might be an easy and potential method in the dealing with different types of ICP. This study may offer a novel paradigm for addressing endoscopy-related intestinal perforations.
