Wow. This article says a mouthful, and it's pretty recent.

Makes me wonder why I should even consider getting another colonoscopy.Submucosal "dissection", colonic fractures or mucosal tears and perforation from air insufflation during colonoscopy may occur and has been hypothesized to be due to compromise of the colonic wall from submucosal collagen deposition.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Doctor Fine also mentions that risk in his discussion about MC on his website, which he wrote several years ago, and apparently that's the reason why he uses sigmoidoscopes, rather than colonoscopes, when doing exams.
That's why we have to sign that waiver, before the exam, because the risk is real. Just before my exam, I asked the GI doc what would happen in the event of a perforation, and he nonchalantly replied that I would be making a quick trip to the operating room, for emergency surgery. He didn't seem to be concerned - I guess they get used to it. After all, it's no hide off their butts. LOL.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
