Objectives
: To describe the technique of endo-anal pull-through of the rectum performed by a laparoscopic approach in
a patient with adenocarcinoma of the distal rectum. We also present and discuss the various techniques of colon pull-
through proposed to date. Discussion: Colo-anal anastomosis remains a challenge with implications for sphincter
function. Many variations of the technique have been described and can be used provided they consider the clinical
characteristics of the patient, the patient’s personal choice, and the experience of the surgeon. Laparoscopy can be
employed in pull through surgeries of the colon without the need for stoma or auxiliary incisions.
Key words: Laparoscopy. Rectal Neoplasms. Endo-anal pull-through.

Visual inspectionof the anal canal was normal; on digital rectalexamination, however, a hard fixed posterior lesion,located approximately 3.5 cm from the anal marginwas palpable.
Surgical Procedure
The patient was placed in Lloyd-Davies

We ligated the inferiormesenteric artery and vein at their origins anddissected the splenic flexure. This was followed by Figure 1 - Exteriorized colonic stump.

RESUMO
Objetivos:
Descrevemos a técnica do abaixamento endo-anal do reto realizado por acesso laparoscópico em um
paciente portador de adenocarcinoma do reto distal. Também apresentamos e discutimos as várias técnicas de
abaixamento do cólon propostas até o momento. Discussão: A anastomose colo-anal permanece um desafio com
implicações na função esfincteriana. Muitas variações técnicas foram descritas e podem ser utilizadas desde que
respeitem critérios considerando as características clínicas do paciente, opção pessoal do paciente e a experiência do
cirurgião. A videocirurgia pode ser empregada também nas cirurgias de abaixamento do cólon, sem a necessidade de
ostomia ou de incisões auxiliares.
