| Popis: | The superiority of flexible to rigid sigmoidoscopy is resulting in its increasing utilization by primary care physicians. The procedure is relatively risk-free, but complications including perforations may occur. An unusual case of cecal perforation as a result of flexible sigmoidoscopy is presented in order to draw attention to this complication. |
