Core Tip	Although colonoscopy is seen as a potentially safe procedure performed as a daycare practice, yet it is associated with a wide range of complications. Emerging evidence in the literature documents injuries to abdominal organs beyond the bowel wall. The most commonly affected organ is the spleen, followed by the pancreas and infrequently the liver, mesentery and urinary bladder. Despite its low frequency, some cases are serious especially the rupture of visceral organs like spleen. In such cases, conservative management may not always work and interventional radiologic procedures and/or surgery may be required.
