Abstract
We present the video of a transanal radical resection of the rectum on a swine model (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/DCR/A4). The equipment used included simple instruments used in perianal surgery and a flexible endoscope with diathermy. The equipment and skill set required for this technique is easily accessible and reproduced. The potential exists to further develop this procedure with the ultimate aim of performing an incisionless and painless radical resection of the rectum in humans.
