Robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (R-TAMIS) is an evolving technique for resection of low rectal pathology with the benefits of improved visualization and enhanced maneuverability within a confined space. We present a hybrid R-TAMIS approach to a nearly circumferential rectal polyp extending to within 1cm of the anal verge. Initial dissection was performed with standard trans-anal approach to provide an appropriate landing zone for the R-TAMIS platform. Dissection was completed robotically. Sleeve closure was performed utilizing a hybrid approach with robotic suture placement and closure using standard trans-anal approach.
