title: [Snake charmer NOTES-proctocolectomy in a male patient].
abstract: Restricted ability of triangulation, a highly flexible intestine, as well as limited control and overview over the abdominal organs, complicated extensive abdominal interventions in the past. Thus, additional access sites were needed to allow sufficient interoperative control. The newly developed snake charmer NOTES-technique enables the reduction of accesses to the umbilicus and rectum. We report the first case of total proctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch formation in hybrid NOTES technique in a male patient.
