Natural orifice total mesorectal excision using transanal port and laparoscopic assistance.
Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is an emerging concept which has been recently applied to the field of rectal excision. The authors describe a case of total mesorectal excision using a transanal port and laparoscopic assistance. We described a procedure performed in a 45-year-old for a rectal adenocarcinoma (1 cm wide, T1sm3) 3 cm above the dentate line. The procedure is described in the text and in a didactic video.
