Rectal cancer is one of the commonest human malignancies. Treatment of this serious disease conventionally involves resection with/without anastomosis. Anastomotic site stenosis is a serious complication of rectal resection for which treatment is still evolving. We report a male patient treated with minimally invasive abdominal and anal approach for stenosis after initial transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for rectal cancer. Surgeons are encouraged to put this technique in their mind while treating similar cases.
