Transillumination-guided endoscopic and transanal recanalization for total anastomotic stenosis following low anterior resection

Key Points

• Total anastomotic stenosis was effectively treated with transillumination-guided techniques, providing significant relief.
• The procedure achieved successful recanalization in a cohort of individuals who underwent low anterior resection.
• Endoscopic and transanal approaches were employed to address the stenosis, ensuring minimal invasiveness and reliable outcomes.
• The findings highlight potential practice changes for managing complications after anterior resections in the surgical setting.
