Description
This video explains how to recognise and manage perforations in the lower gastrointestinal tract. It reviews the main risk factors for perforation and the use of the Sydney classification to identify and describe these events. Several intraprocedural perforations are shown, with examples of their endoscopic management. The video also discusses the choice of closure technique, with practical tips on how to achieve effective endoscopic closure. Finally, the management of capnoperitoneum is demonstrated, including how to recognise it during the procedure and how to treat it safely.
