Article Abstract
Purpose: We conducted this study to compare the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic surgery (LS) vs. open surgery (OS) for repairing colonoscopic perforation, and to evaluate the possible predictors of complications.
Method: We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent surgical repair of colonoscopic perforation by LS or OS between January 2005 and June 2019 at six Hallym University-affiliated hospitals. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify the predictors of postoperative complications.
Results: Of the total 99 patients, 40 underwent OS and 59 underwent LS. The postoperative hospital stay and the time to resuming a soft diet were shorter in the LS group than in the OS group (P = 0.017 and 0.026, respectively). The complication rate and Clavien-Dindo classification were not significantly different between the two groups. Multivariable analysis revealed that an American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA) ≥ 3 and switching from non-operative management to surgical treatment were independently associated with complications (P = 0.025 and 0.010, respectively).
Conclusion: LS may be a safe alternative to OS for repairing colonoscopic perforation with a shorter postoperative hospital stay and time to resuming a soft diet. Patients with an ASA score ≥ 3 and those with changes to their planned treatment should be monitored carefully to minimize their risk of complications.

Colonic intussusception after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an uncommon, yet clinically significant complication. Therapeutic approaches for postoperative intussusception encompass conservative management, endoscopic reduction, and surgical intervention. We present a case involving a woman in her early 40s who experienced acute abdominal pain and fever shortly after ESD for a large ascending colonic adenoma.

Background: Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO) is defined as colonic obstruction without a mechanical or extrinsic inflammatory factor. Colonic decompression is advised for patients with ACPO after the failure of conservative and medical management.
Aim: To systematically review and analyze the efficacy and safety of colonoscopic decompression in ACPO.

Colonoscopic perforation is a severe but rare complication of lower gastrointestinal endoscopies, linked to high morbidity and mortality rates. Iatrogenic perforation during colonoscopy can lead to serious outcomes including extended hospital stays, need for surgical intervention, intra-abdominal sepsis, or death. While perforations have traditionally required surgical or interventional radiology management, use of over-the-scope clipping has offered the option of endoscopic management.

Background: Current evidence has shown an oncologic benefit of preoperative chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced and metastatic colon cancer. However, some patients present with stenosis that blocks the colonoscope but without symptomatic obstruction. Whether the stenosis will progress to obstruction during chemotherapy is unknown, and this uncertainty may encourage unnecessary diversion or stenting, or impede optimal treatment.

Endo-Wing™ is a soft silicone device with six wing-like projections attached at the end of the colonoscope that provides superior visualization by flattening the colonic fold and helps to maintain a central view of the colonoscope during withdrawal. This study aims to compare the adenoma detection rate (ADR) between standard colonoscopy and Endo-Wing™-assisted colonoscopy. This is a single-center, single-blind, parallel-group, randomized, actively controlled, exploratory clinical trial conducted between July 2019 and April 2020.
