We performed laparoscopic intersphincteric resection with posterior vaginal wall excision for women with advanced anterior wall low rectal cancer to prevent positive CRM. To the best of our knowledge, this procedure has not been described in the literature. The aim of our study was to assess the outcomes of this novel procedure.
