Endoloops as a therapeutic option in colocutaneous fistula closure.

Colonic perforation is a rare complication of laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty with polypropylene mesh and it is usually due to mesh migration [1, 2]. The presence of a colocutaneous fistula is a sign of high morbidity, and consideration should be given to treatment by endoscopy, al− though the usual treatment for this com− plication is open surgery. Fortunately, with advances in colonoscopy, therapeu− tic options have been developed. The most innovating is the use of endoclips [3].
