Abstrakt: 1. Perforation of the sigmoid as a result of diagnostic and therapeutic manipulation is not infrequent. 25 reported perforations in the experience of 28 physicians reveals it not as a rare occurrence. 2. Immediate recognition of the accident is mandatory in order to save life. 3. At best, with immediate operation, only 50% can be saved. 4. The trauma is not necessarily dependent upon a pathological process in the colon. 5. The accident does not necessarily imply faulty instrumental technic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
