Abstract
The most serious and most common complications of flexible fiberoptic colonoscopy are perforation, hemorrhage, and respiratory problems. The less serious complications include transient bacteremia, vasovagal responses, and ileus. The application of the coagulation current necessary for polypectomy increases the morbidity and mortality of the procedure. Therefore, the endoscopist should be familiar with cautery techniques and the equipment should be tested every two or three months.
