Abstract
A 59-year-old man underwent screening colonoscopy that identified a 2-cm rectal polyp in the posterior midline, 7 cm from the anal verge. Biopsy revealed a tubular adenoma with high-grade dysplasia. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted transanal minimally invasive surgery with full-thickness excision (Fig. 1). Final pathology confirmed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma extending into the submucosa (sm2). There was no lymphovascular or perineural invasion, and the radial margin was 5 mm.
