Colon perforation during colposcopy, while rare, carries significant risks. This analysis highlights the need for measures to minimize complications and improve patient outcomes in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Gynecologic Endoscopy

Context:

  • Colposcopy, a procedure for examining the cervix, can lead to colon perforation.
  • The risk of perforation varies between diagnostic (0.2%) and therapeutic (0.5%–3%) colposcopy.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the incidence, causes, and consequences of colon perforation during colposcopy.
  • To emphasize the need for risk mitigation strategies and assess the medico-legal implications.

Summary:

  • Analysis of 100 colon perforation cases during colposcopy reveals significant risks.
  • Mortality associated with this complication is high (14%), with serious sequelae in 11% of patients.
  • The entire medical team, including the colposcopist, surgeon, and anesthetist, shares responsibility.

Impact:
