- Figure 2.
After endoscopic repair with six endoclips, the perforation site was closed. A, B, C: Serial views of endoscopic repair of the iatrogenic colonic perforation.

Colonoscopic finding during follow-up. Two months later, the perforation site was completely healed.
- Figure 4.
Schematogram of the colon. Red circles are potential blind spots for colonoscopic visualization.

A: Retroflexion view of the distal rectum. B: Typical example in another patient, not the presented case, which showed that retroflexion is valuable for detection of the missed rectal lesion. Left. There was no pathologic lesion in the forward view of the distal rectum. Right. A polyp of the distal rectum was observed in the retroflexion view of the distal rectum.
