Has anyone had complications due to an endoscopy?

I have a friend who had her 6th endoscopy procedure but when they did it this time they caused a big hole. She was hospitalized for 4 days... she swelled up and was in a lot of pain. I've never heard of this happening before. She was also hospitalized once for having an air pocket??? Have no idea what this is either. Any responses will be appreciated.
