DIEZ-REDONDO, Pilar et al. A novel system for endoscopic closure of iatrogenic colon perforations using the Ovesco^® clip and omental patch. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2012, vol.104, n.10, pp.550-552. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1130-01082012001000009.

The growing endoscopic activity, both diagnostic and therapeutic, are also globally makes frequent endoscopic complications, perforation being one of the most serious. However, we also have more possibilities for endoscopic resolution of iatrogenic caused. We report the case of a sigmoid perforation during a colonoscopy that was resolved satisfactorily, avoiding surgery, by endoscopic closure with a nitinol clip Ovesco^®.

Keywords : Iatrogenic perforation; Colonoscopy; Ovesco^®; Nitinol clip.
