Abstract

As TaTME is gaining popularity for the treatment of low rectal cancers, certain complications are becoming more prevalent. A unique complication is neo-rectal prolapse, which can lead to a significantly poor quality of life (1). We present the case of a 48 year-old male with invasive rectal adenocarcinoma (T3N0) who received neoadjuvant chemoradiation and subsequently underwent a robotic low anterior resection and transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) with a handsewn coloanal anastomosis and a diverting loop ileostomy.
