Aim: Total mesorectal excision with adequate free margins is the gold standard for rectal surgery. Applying a linear stapler in a narrow pelvis can be challenging and the proper distal margin difficult to assess. In selected cases the colorectal eversion technique combined with single-stapled double-purse-string anastomosis (SSDP) can be a practical solution.
Method: Eleven patients, six men and five women, mean body mass index 27 ± 1.3 kg/m, underwent total mesorectal excision with the colorectal eversion technique combined with modified SSDP between September 2022 and January 2023.
Results: The mean operative time was 190 min. The mean hospital stay was 4 days. There were no postoperative complications. The final histology showed complete mesorectal resection, circumferential resection margin negative, free distal resection margin, anastomotic doughnuts negative. At 7 ± 3 months follow-up there was no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis.
Conclusion: The colorectal eversion technique combined with modified SSDP is a reproducible and safe technique in selected patients. Prospective randomized trials with large patient series are needed to confirm our preliminary results.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the short-term and survival outcomes in laparoscopic low rectal cancer surgery with three different specimen extraction techniques, and whether it affects loop ileostomy closure.
Materials And Methods: A consecutive series of patients with low rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection plus protective loop ileostomy (LAR-PLI) were enrolled. Three main techniques, namely specimen extraction through auxiliary incision (EXAI), specimen extraction through stoma incision (EXSI), and specimen eversion and extra-abdominal resection (EVER), were employed.

To investigate the feasibility of Cai tube-assisted natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) in gastrointestinal surgery. This was a descriptive case-series study. Inclusion criteria: (1) colorectal or gastric cancer diagnosed by preoperative pathological examination or redundant sigmoid or transverse colon detected by barium enema; (2) indications for laparoscopic surgery; (3) body mass index <30 kg/m (transanal surgery) and 35 kg/m (transvaginal surgery); (4) no vaginal stenosis or adhesions in female patients undergoing transvaginal specimen extraction; and (5) patients with redundant colon aged 18-70 years and a history of intractable constipation for more than 10 years.
