Laparoscopic repair of a colonoscopic perforation

Abstract

We report a case of laparoscopic repair of a diagnostic colonoscopic perforation. No other such reports were noted in the literature. The management of colonoscopic perforations has become controversial. Operative vs nonoperative treatment is continually debated. The morbidity of operative management is significant. Colostomy is often performed. Laparoscopy should allow early evaluation of operative patients and primary repair of those with minimal contamination and no residual pathology. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery, such as shortened hospitalization and rapid return to full activities, including work, were realized in our patient. Laparoscopy should be considered in the selective management of colonoscopic perforations.
