[Perforation as a delayed complication after endoscopic full-thickness resection in a recurrent adenoma of the sigmoid].
Zeitschrift Für Gastroenterologie 2019 Februrary
The endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is established in ablation of recurrent colorectal adenomas, which cannot be removed by endoscopic resection in cases of fibrosis. The EFTR can be applied with low risk, in one step, with the use of special devices, such as the full-thickness resection device (FTRD® ). The main risks described in literature are bleeding and perforations. The mentioned perforations were explained by previous defects of the device system or patient-related predisposed parameters for perforation.We report the case of a 55-year old woman who underwent an endoscopic full-thickness resection with the FTRD® due to a recurrent adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasm in the sigmoid. After primary uncomplicated development, she presented with a secondary perforation with purulent peritonitis seven days after intervention, so a sigmoid-resection was necessary. There were no signs of defects with the FTRD® system or patient-related predisposed parameters, which prefer a perforation.Our case-report demonstrates the necessity for clinical follow up, after primary uncomplicated endoscopic full-thickness resection, to recognize delayed complications.
