The analysis of 100 cases of colon perforation during colposcopic examinations highly demonstrates such a statement. The perforation risk during colposcopies is generally of the order of 0.2% for a diagnosis coloscopy. According to the statistic data used, it can reach 0.5 to 3% in therapy coloscopy. This is a risk inherent to the technique used. It is thus required to analyse the causes and take the appropriate measures to reduce it to a minimum. Mortality due to such a complication remains high (14%), i.e about 0.015 to 0.1% (#2/10000) of all colposcopies. In 11% of the patients, serious sequelae are to be observed. This demonstrates the significance of the medico-legal problem set by these perforations during colposcopies. The whole personnel responsibility can be involved: colposcopist, surgeon, anesthetist and hospital unit.
