Iatrogenic colonic perforation is the most severe complication of lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. A prompt diagnosis is necessary in order to identify the site of perforation and to reduce peritonitis due to bacterial seeding. We reported our experience with a 10-month old baby admitted for descending colonic perforation during an endoscopic procedure, in whom an immediate use of the laparoscopic approach allowed an early recognition of the perforation, that was successfully repaired by video-assisted colorrhapy, by the exteriorization of the colon from the umbilical wound.
