Core Tip	Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) is an emerging technique that has been recently applied to the field of rectal cancer resection. However, which is the better approach for rectal cancer remains controversial. In this paper, we present our surgical technique and short-term outcomes of transanal NOSE in total laparoscopic low/ultralow anterior resection (L-AR) for patients with rectal cancer. Based on our limited experience, transanal NOSE in L-AR for rectal cancer is feasible, safe and oncologically sound.
