Does anyone have statistics on what state has the lowest percentage of colon perforations during a colonoscopy? I've surfed the web and can't seem to find any any data on this. (I would be willing to bet that Florida had the highest and New York the lowest.) If you have info on this please post or send me a link to this info.
Thank you!!
In certain diseases for eg cancer, vulnerability of the colon to get perforated is increased. So it will be greater in the centres dealing with the cancer patients.
"To study the perforation risk in a large US population sample undergoing colonoscopy, investigators conducted a retrospective review of patients enrolled in the California Medicaid program between 1995 and 2005.[41] They found that the rate of perforations during colonoscopy was relatively stable over this time period; whereas the number of colonoscopies increased more than 2-fold. The total burden of perforation, which was 64/100,000 colonoscopies, was appropriately recognized as an emerging public health problem.[41]"

Hello, here is my situation.
I couldn't find a dildo, so I found a banana and put a condom over it. I inserted it into my ass. About 3-4 inches went in.
I took it out and I finished.
Is there any risk of Colon Perforation or Colon Damage. How far is the colon into the anus?
What are the symtoms of Colon damage/Perforation and how long do they take to appear.
Thank you.

Older age linked to colonoscopic perforation - Critical Care ...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – People over 75 years who undergo colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy are six times more likely to experience a colon perforation than younger individuals, according to findings from Thailand.
Performance of a therapeutic intervention during endoscopy also seems to increase the risk of perforation, according to the report in the September 24th issue of BMC Gastroenterology. Still, the absolute risk of perforation was small: just 0.15%.
Lead researcher Dr. Varut Lohsiriwat, from Mahidol University in Bangkok, told Reuters Health that the association of perforation with advanced age was unexpected. He speculated that the “elderly might have a weaker...
