Aim: In this technical note we describe a simplified totally transabdominal technique to perform a single stapled end-to-end colorectal anastomosis without the need for transanal transection, linear stapler line resection, purse string or dog-ear suturing.
Method: The rationale and the technique itself are first explained by using a schematic design. Next, step-by-step pictures of one of our cases show the feasibility and advantages of this technique.

Background/aim: Transanal endoscopic local excision requires fine operation in a very narrow space in the rectum. We report a case in which the use of surgical instruments with a multi-jointed structure allowed safe resection of a lesion with a stable field of view, resulting in preservation of postoperative function.
Case Report: The patient was a 49-year-old man who had a rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (G1) with erosive changes in the lower rectum.
