Abstract
Injury to the spleen is a rare complication of colonoscopy and polypectomy. The danger of this unusual complication is real and its early recognition and proper management are essential to a favorable outcome. A case of injury to the spleen requiring splenectomy following colonoscopy and polypectomy is reported and discussed. Review of the literature by the authors revealed only six similar cases.
