Kolonoskopi Sonrası İntra-Ekstraperitoneal Serbest Hava Olgusu: Cerrahi Müdahale Her Zaman Gerekli midir?
Abstract
Kolonoskopi işlemine bağlı kalın bağırsak perforasyonu pnömatik veya mekanik etkiyle ya da terapotik işlemlere bağlı gelişebilmektedir. Hava insüflasyonu sonrası basınç artışına bağlı mukozada herniasyon gelişebilir. Bu durum, mukozayı belirgin perforasyon odağı olmaksızın havaya geçirgen hale getirebilir.
Rektum malign neoplazmı için 5 yıl önce ameliyat edilmiş ve radyasyon proktiti nedeni ile takipli 63 yaşındaki bayan hasta, yapılan kontrol kolonoskopi işleminden bir gün sonra gelişen, yavaş yavaş artan yüzde ve boyunda şişlik, nefes darlığı şikayetleri ile işlemden 3 gün sonra acil servise başvurdu. Yapılan tetkiklerinde kolonoskopiye bağlı pnömoperitoneum, pnömoretroperitoneum, pnömomediastinum, servikal ve fasial subkutan amfizem saptandı. Hastanın fizik muayenesinde peritonit bulguları olmaması, genel durumunun iyi ve işlemin üzerinden uzun süre geçmiş olması üzerine medikal takibine karar verildi. Hasta 2 günlük takip sonrasında sorunsuz şekilde taburcu edildi.
Kolonoskopiye bağlı intaperitoneal ya da ekstraperitoneal alanda serbest hava görülmesi hemen işlem esnasında olabileceği gibi uzun süre sonra da gelişebilmektedir. Bu hastalarda özellikle peritonit bulgusu yoksa, genel durumu iyi ise yakın gözlem altında medikal takip ile gereksiz cerrahi müdahaleler önlenebilir.

Abstract
Colonoscopy-related colonic perforation may occur through pneumatic or mechanical impact, or due to various therapeutic procedures. Mucosal herniation may also develop because of the increase in post-air insufflation pressure. This condition may render the mucosa air-permeable without a distinct focal perforation point.
A 63-year-old female patient, who had had surgery for malign rectal neoplasm five years before and followed-up for radiation proctitis, presented to the emergency department three days after she had control colonoscopy with complaints of a gradually deteriorating facial and cervical swelling along with respiratory distress that developed a day after the procedure. The results of the patient’s analyses revealed that she had colonoscopy-related pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, cervical and facial subcutaneous emphysema. Medical follow-up was planned for the patient since there were no signs of peritonitis in her physical examination, her overall condition was well, and because a long time had passed after the procedure. The patient was discharged after a two-day follow-up with no problems.
Colonoscopy-related intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal free air can both be seen immediately during the procedure and it can develop a long time after the procedure as well. Unnecessary surgical procedures can be prevented through medical follow-up under close monitoring in such patients particularly if they do not have peritonitis signs or symptoms and their overall condition is well.
