Abstract
Dear Editor,
During the last years, the number of colonoscopies has increased, both diagnostic and therapeutic, causing a greater number of iatrogenic complications, although with low incidence. Perforation is a rare complication with frequency estimated in the range of 0.03% to 0.9% for diagnostic and during therapeutic procedures up to 3% in the various published series, with morbidity (20-40%) and mortality (0-25%) (1). The management of iatrogenic colonoscopic perforation is diverse and controversial, since it is an uncommon complication and series published are short. The laparoscopic surgical treatment is an option which has not yet been well evaluated (2).
