MAGADAN, Cristina et al. Fishbone perforation of the sigmoid colon: combined laparoscopic and endoscopic treatment. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.4, pp.433-437. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.91.

Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies, more frequently fishbones, causes intestinal perforations in less than 1% of cases. The associated high morbidity and mortality has lead to the search for alternatives to conventional surgery.

The presented case shows how sequential approach, laparoscopic and endoscopic combined, allows a sigmoid perforation by a foreign body to be solved with a lower aggressive approach.

Palabras clave : colon, sigmoid; intestinal perforation; foreign bodies; diagnosis; laparoscopy; endoscopy; digestive system.
