Purpose: Combined endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery (CELS) has emerged as a promising method for managing complex benign lesions that would otherwise require major colonic resection. The aim of this study was to describe the different techniques and to evaluate the safety of CELS, assess its outcomes in a technique that is scarcely widespread in our environment.
Method: Observational retrospective study, short-term outcomes of patients undergoing CELS for benign colon polyps from October 2018 to June 2020 were evaluated.
Purpose: The intrarectal suture is considered a high technically complex procedure. The study's objectives were to assess the feasibility of making an intrarectal knot, through an in vitro study and assessing whether the video tutorial facilitates learning.
Materials And Methods: A detailed description of the technique.
Purpose: Laparoscopic ventral rectopexy is the most favored surgical treatment for rectal prolapse. Perineal approaches are recommended for frail patients and those with major comorbidities, and in young men to avoid genitourinary disorders. There are very few descriptions in the literature of transanal endoscopic surgery to treat complete rectal prolapse.

The positive results obtained with intracorporeal resection and anastomosis in the right colon and rectum prompt us to adapt these procedures to the left colon.
