[ Summary ] The typical complications during colorectal endoscopic treatment are perforation and hemorrhage. The perforation rates during endoscopic treatment are reported to be 0-0.8 % and 2-10.7 % for EMR and ESD, respectively. The postoperative hemorrhage rates are reported to be 1-1.8 % and 0.7-7.1 % for EMR and ESD, respectively. When perforation occurs during the procedure, clipping must be performed. If a complete suture is available, there is a high possibility of avoiding operation by the administration of antibiotics and fasting. Furthermore, it is necessary to comprehensively select the timing of emergency surgery in cooperation with surgeons. For hemorrhage associated with endoscopic treatment, clipping or coagulation using the tip of a knife or a hemostat is applicable. To avoid delayed perforation due to hypercoagulation, minimum electrocoagulation should be applied.
