Although early detection of colorectal cancer can lead to earlier treatment and, thereby, reduce mortality, it is well recognized that screening colonoscopy carries the risk of potentially serious complications. In general, the most serious complication is intestinal perforation which is a life-threatening medical emergency. The rate of colon perforation during screening colonoscopy is estimated to be about 1 in 2,000 procedures. Once an iatrogenic colonoscopic perforation occurs, prompt recognition and urgent treatment is necessary to prevent the onset of sepsis and its potentially lethal consequences.
