Subtotal colectomy with cecorectal anastomosis represents an interesting alternative to total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. Several technical variants to the methods for performing the anastomosis between the cecum and the rectal stump after subtotal colectomy have been reported. The mechanical, antiperistaltic, end-to-end cecorectal anastomosis is safe and easy to perform. The authors aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of this technique performed laparoscopically in a series of four patients. All the procedures were completed laparoscopically. The mean time for surgery was 200 min (range, 180-220 min). There was no mortality and no postoperative complications. The mean hospital stay was 4 days (range, 3-5 days). This technique can be performed laparoscopically with all the advantages inherent to the minimally invasive approach.
