The frequency of endoscopic complications is likely to rise owing to the increased number of indications for therapeutic procedures and also to the increased complexity of endoscopic techniques. Blero and Devière review the most common complications of diagnostic and therapeutic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, small bowel endoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and colonoscopy. Different modalities of medical, endoscopic and surgical management are also considered.
