Abstract
Primary rectal cancer with direct invasion into the sacrum requires en bloc resection that encompasses both the rectum and the sacrum. Application of laparoscopic techniques to the abdominal component should potentially provide the patient with the short-term benefits of a minimally invasive approach and permit adequate mobilization to permit completion of the procedure via the transsacral route. The aim of this video was to describe the operative details of such a technique.
