While generally safe, the most feared complication of colonoscopy is perforation of the colon, occurring in nearly 1 in 1,000 procedures, and is more common when polypectomy is performed and electrocautery is used. Less commonly known is the post-polypectomy electrocoagulation syndrome, a transmural burn of the colon which mimics the signs and symptoms of perforation as well as the time course, but follows a benign course and can be treated conservatively.
虽然结肠镜检查总体上是安全的，但最令人担忧的并发症是结肠穿孔，在近千分之一的操作中会发生，并且在进行息肉切除和使用电灼时更常见。鲜为人知的是息肉切除术后电凝综合征，这是一种结肠透壁烧伤，其体征和症状以及病程与穿孔相似，但病程呈良性，可保守治疗。
