Totally transanal laparo-endoscopic single-site proctocolectomy-lleoanal j-pouch [TLPC-J]: an experimental study of a novel approach

ABSTRACT

Background: The natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery [NOTES] has become a commonly considered novel approach in the surgical field. The NOTES provide possibility of operation through the natural orifice and decreases the intentional puncture of the systemic organ and subsequent complications. Totally transanal laparo-endoscopic single-site proctoColectomy-Ileoanal J-Pouch [TLPC-J] is a novel method in minimally invasive surgery for total colectomy. The main goal of this study is to perform this new method on an animal model, to assess probable complication and to resolve probable issues by using patients that are candidate for total colectomy
