Résumé

La coloscopie diagnostique est un acte médicotechnique de plus en plus prescrit et constitue en 2015 le gold standard de l’exploration de la face muqueuse du côlon qu’il s’agisse de pathologies inflammatoires ou tumorales. Comme tout geste médicotechnique, la coloscopie diagnostique est associée à des complications allant du simple ballonnement post-insufflation à la perforation digestive pouvant nécessiter une réparation chirurgicale et grevée d’une morbidité, voire d’une mortalité propre non nulle, particulièrement chez le sujet âgé. L’objectif de cet article est de faire le point sur l’incidence des complications mineures et majeures de la coloscopie diagnostique.

Abstract

Colonoscopy is widely used to explore colonic pathology, such as for screening colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. It is a medical and technical procedure and complications may occur. Complications could be minor: post-colonoscopy bloating; or major: colonic perforation requiring a surgical treatment in some cases. Colonoscopy is associated with significant higher morbid-mortality in elderly patients. We discuss in this article the incidence of minor and major complications related to diagnostic colonoscopy.
