The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the feasibility of an innovative technique for the surgical management of rectal cancer: trans anal minimally invasive surgery assisted low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision (TAMIS assisted LAR TME) in a cadaver model. Trans anal LAR via natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has been reported in cadaveric series using rigid transanal platforms. This procedure has not been described using a combination of a single incision laparoscopy and TAMIS trans anal endoscopic platform. Herein, we describe the first cadaveric series of TAMIS assisted laparoscopic LAR with TME.
