Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We present the first human case of laparo-endoscopic single-site sigmoidectomy with transanal natural orifice specimen extraction. DISCUSSION: This technical achievement is a new step toward pure colorectal Natural Orifices Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery. It is the product of a gradual development with critical steps being conceived and standardised in years of experimental and clinical procedures.Entities:
