Özet
The management of postoperative anastomotic stenosis after rectal cancer surgery remains a significant challenge, often resulting laparotomy or permanent ostomy. While Hegar dilators and endoscopic balloon dilation are effective for partial stenoses, they are not applicable in cases of complete occlusion. The selective use of magnetic rings has been proposed as a potential treatment; however, their availability is limited. As an alternative, a transillumination-guided laparoscopic needle-assisted endoscopic and transanal recanalization technique can be employed in patients with total anastomotic stenosis following low anterior resection (LAR).
