Successful Laparoscopic Management of Iatrogenic Colon Perforation: A Promising Approach

Iatrogenic colon perforation, a rare but serious complication of colonoscopy, was studied to determine effective treatment approaches. Out of 51 cases, 84% required surgery. Notably, laparoscopic surgery was performed in 88% of cases, demonstrating its safety and feasibility. Laparoscopic primary suturing was successful in 80% of cases, with a high recovery rate of 96%. The study supports the use of laparoscopy as the preferred approach for managing iatrogenic colon perforation, showcasing its potential in this challenging scenario.
