Several procedures have been described for the excision of perirectal tumours. Among them are the Kraske and York Mason operations, and the transanal approach, which may cause anal incontinence and rectal bleeding. A novel technique, i.e. the perianal intersphincteric excision (PIE), is reported here with the aim of minimising such postoperative complications, as it avoids both stretching the sphincters and endorectal wounding.
