ABSTRACT :
Posterior pelvic exenteration (PPE) has been used as modality of treatment for recurrent or primary cancer of rectum that has invaded into the female genital tract. We report a case of PPE performed for locoregionally advanced carcinoma of rectum invading the uterus; which was performed in a totally laparoscopic manner. The handsewn coloanal anastomosis was performed transrectally thus obviating the need for even a minilaparotomy for abdominal access for specimen retrieval or anastomotic stapler application. This is a first reported case in the literature where a total laparoscopic PPE was performed with successful outcome and oncological adequacy and safety.
