Abstract
We have read with interest in your journal the article "Splenic rupture as an endoscopic complication: as rare as it appears?" and we would like to contribute a case handled in our hospital. We present the case of a 72-year-old male smokerto whom an elective colonoscopy was performed with conscious sedation (midazolam and pethidine). The bowel preparation was appropriate. Diverticula and several pedunculated polyps were observed.
