| Résumé : | Background/Aims: Gastrointestinal perforation during endoscopy is a rare but severe complication. Most instances occur during colonoscopy. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the cases of 23 patients with iatrogenic perforation (13 women, 10 men; mean age = 71 years [range, 49-89]). We identified 6 esogastric perforations, 2 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforations, and 15 colonic perforations. Demographics, type and aim of endoscopy, mechanism of perforation, delay of treatment, operative procedure, postoperative hospital stay, and mortality rate were analyzed. Results: Three perforations occurred during di-agnostic gastroscopy and 3 during therapeutic gastroscopy. ERCP-related perforations occurred during therapeutic procedures. Nine colonic perforations occurred during interventional colonoscopy. ERCP-related perforations always required laparotomy. For esogastric perforations, surgical treatment usually required laparotomy; only two patients (33%) could be managed by laparoscopy. In contrast, colon perforations could be managed by a laparoscopic approach (suturing and drainage or by laparoscopic resection) in 86.6% of cases. Overall mortality was 13% and occurred exclusively after esogastric perforation. Conclusion: Most gastrointestinal perforations occurred during therapeutic colonoscopy; these perforations could be treated by laparoscopy in most cases. Esogastric perforations and perforations after ERCP are rare and must be treated on a case-by-case basis; in most cases, laparotomy is required. © H.G.E. Update Medical Publishing S.A. |
