Abstract
We report a patient with a large colonic perforation that occurred in a screening colonoscopy, successfully repaired with endoclips, although the safety and efficacy of this approach is not entirely established. Endoscopic clip placement can be used to treat iatrogenic colonic perforation, when the defect is readily recognized and is easily accessible for closure, and the bowel preparation is excellent.Entities:
