Making a colotomy for these techniques may be contraindicated in oncologic resections or in cases with a poor bowel prep. In addition, these current anvil placement techniques often involve creating a larger abdominal incision for placement of the EEA anvil in the peritoneal cavity. In planned cases of natural orifice extraction, this can be counterproductive to the minimally invasive goals of surgery. In this video forum, we present a novel technique for creating an intracordal EEA during minimally invasive colorectal surgery. …
