Iatrogenic colorectal perforation caused by a clip

An iatrogenic colonic perforation (ICP) is a significant incident associated with colonoscopy, with recent guidelines detailing a treatment-related incidence of 0.02 %–8 % [1]. Although clips are frequently used to suture perforations [2], ICPs caused by the clips themselves have not previously been reported. Here, we describe a case of an ICP occurring during endoscopic treatment that was caused by a clip in a colonic diverticulum.
