Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery (LS) versus open surgery (OS) for colonoscopic perforation. The results showed that LS group had shorter hospital stay and postoperative fasting time, lower postoperative complication morbidity, and faster recovery. Therefore, LS is a safe and efficacious technique for colonoscopic perforation.

Summary: This study evaluated colonoscopists' second victim experience and perception discordance between colonoscopists and patients regarding colonoscopic perforation. Survey results showed that colonoscopists were more satisfied with intervention strategies that included sufficient explanation, empathy, courteous listening, and monetary compensation. Significant patient-colonoscopist discordance was found in areas such as judgment of medical error, health professionals' apology, monetary compensation, and criminal penalties for colonoscopists in the context of colonoscopic perforation.

Summary: The study compared perioperative outcomes of LS and OS for repairing colonoscopic perforation, finding that LS had shorter postoperative hospital stay and time to resuming soft diet compared to OS. However, there was no significant difference in complication rates and classification between the two groups. ASA score >= 3 and treatment plan changes were identified as independent predictors of complications.

Summary: Endoscopic migration of plastic biliary stents via ERCP plays an important role in the treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. Though rare, intestinal perforation caused by stent migration should be considered in cases of sudden abdominal pain post-ERCP.

Summary: In this study, a rare case of palatal perforation caused by opportunistic oral mucosal fungal infection with Alternaria alternata in an immunocompetent adolescent is presented. The patient, who had been previously healthy, underwent diagnostic investigations and was confirmed to have A. alternata infection. Surgical debridement and voriconazole treatment were performed, leading to improvement of the patient's condition. These findings emphasize the importance of considering A. alternata as a potential pathogenic factor in etiological palatal perforation.

Summary: This study evaluated the usefulness of rectal retroflexion (RR) during colonoscopy in detecting inflammatory cloacogenic polyps (ICPs) in children. It was found that ICPs in children can be detected through RR, which was often misdiagnosed as other diseases before.

Summary: Segmental absence of the intestinal musculature (SAIM) can cause intestinal perforation in adults. This study retrospectively examined 109 cases of intestinal perforation and found that SAIM was the second most frequent cause of perforation, with the most common site being the sigmoid colon. Characteristic features of SAIM are unique, and accurate recognition can help in understanding the cause of perforation and avoiding unnecessary examinations.

Summary: A study on 483 rectal lesions resected using ESD revealed that factors such as cumulative procedure time, lesion location, resection size, invasion depth, and circumferential range are associated with prolonged ESD procedure time. These findings are important for guiding and improving rectal ESD procedures.

Summary: This report presents two cases of rectal perforation after aquablation treatment for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Delayed diagnosis complicates the treatment of this rare complication, highlighting the importance of routine rectoscopy following aquablation procedures. Immediate rectoscopy identified the perforation during the second case, demonstrating the need for prompt intervention in such cases.
