Core Tip	Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) has been reported as a less invasive surgery to avoid the problems arising from small incisions. In this study, we present details of a surgical technique for NOSE and the outcomes of complete laparoscopic anterior resection using NOSE are compared with conventional laparoscopic anterior resection. Complete laparoscopic anterior resection using NOSE has more advantages in terms of cosmetic outcomes and mitigating postoperative pain compared with conventional laparoscopic anterior resection. Based on our study, we consider complete laparoscopic anterior resection using NOSE as an acceptable and novel minimally invasive surgery.
