Natural Orifice Trans luminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is an emerging concept which has been recently applied to the field of rectal excision. The authors describe a case of total mesorectal excision using a transanal port and laparoscopic assistance. We described a procedure performed in a 45-year-old for a rectal adenocarcinoma (1 cm wide, T1sm3) 3 cm above the dentate line. The procedure is described in the text and in a didactic video.
