Core Tip	We successfully performed transrectal specimen extraction gastrectomy in a male patient without conversion and complications. This procedure significantly reduced damage to the abdominal wall and decreased postoperative pain. There was no visible scar on the abdominal wall. Total operative time and blood loss were 176 min and 50 mL, respectively. He resumed normal activities on day 1 without pain, and passed flatus within 48 h. Postoperative hospital stay was 10 d. The number of resected lymph nodes was 0/43. During the follow-up, no complications were detected, computed tomography and laboratory test results showed no signs of tumor recurrence.
