Key Points

Evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer in a patient who previously underwent laparoscopic mesh sacrocolpopexy.
Clinical evaluation and surgical planning for a 68-year-old female diagnosed with synchronous colon cancer (cT1bN0M0 Stage I) and upper rectal cancer with pulmonary metastasis (cT3N0M1a Stage IVa).
Laparoscopic low anterior resection was executed with meticulous pelvic dissection to manage expected adhesions caused by earlier mesh-assisted pelvic organ prolapse repair.
Laparoscopic low anterior resection was completed safely despite significant surgical adhesions from the previous mesh placement.
The procedure achieved complete surgical clearance of the rectal malignancy without reported intraoperative complications.

Implication

Case report demonstrates successful laparoscopic low anterior resection in a patient with prior mesh sacrocolpopexy, indicating its feasibility despite expected pelvic adhesions.
