Core Tip	Surgical emphysema after transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) can be a sign of a rectal perforation. This report describes a patient with impressive retroperitoneal, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous emphysema directly following TEM without a full thickness rectal wall perforation. This is a rare complication after TEM in which conservative treatment resulted in an uneventful recovery.
