Abstract
Retroflexion in the rectum is an essential part of flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. Iatrogen rectal perforation caused by retroflexion is rare and the published literature is limited to case reports. This case report is one of few that presents a large iatrogen rectal perforation caused by retroflexion with signs of intraperitoneal contamination (intraperitoneal air) on CT-scan, successfully managed with endoscopic clips. Endoscopists and surgeons should be aware that rectal perforation during retroflexion is rare, and most cases can be successfully managed endoscopically.
