• Aetiology
• Avoidance
• Treatment
Incidence
• Rates vary 1 in 200 to 1 in 5000• St Marks – no rate quoted• BUPA hospitals – no rate quoted• Cleveland Clinic – no rate quoted• ACPGBI/BSG – no info• Mayo – 1-3/1000, 23/1000 for
polypectomy
Incidence
• 5% random sample of medicare patients
• >65 years 1991-1998
• 39 286 colonoscopies
• 35 298 flexi sig
Gatto et al 2003
Results
• Colonoscopy 1.96/1000• Flexi sig 0.88/1000• OR 1.8 (CI 1.2-2.8)• Increasing age, diverticular
disease• 2 or more comorbidities• Risk of perforation decreased
during the study period
Gatto et al 2003
Polypectomy
• 34,620 colons over 30 years
• 31 perforations (0.09%)
• 18 (58%) in therapeutic
• 13 (42%) in diagnostic

Aetiology
• Direct penetration
• Bowing• Across a
stricture• Barotrauma
Diagnosis of perforation
• Subtle signs or acute abdomen
• 50% at colonoscopy, rest usually within 48 hrs
• Sepsis
• CXR or CT
Operation?
• Mechanism of perforation
• Age and co-morbidity
• Bowel prep
• Severity of symptoms
• Degree of sepsis
Post polypectomy syndrome
• Localized signs
• No systemic sepsis
• Analogous to diverticulitis
• Regular review
• Systemic antibiotics
Results
• 31 perforations
• 16 (52%) after hot biopsy or polypectomy
• 3 (9%) barotrauma
• 16 (52%) identified at the time
Araghizadeh 2001
Results - conservative
• 11 (35%) managed conservatively• Afebrile, localised tenderness and
mild WBC rise• 3 went onto surgery, 1 closure and
defunction, 2 closure only• 1 percutaneous abscess drained• 1 death
Araghizadeh 2001
Results - surgery
• 20 (65%)
• 9 direct closure
• 7 resection, primary anastomosis
• 4 resection and diversion
