A 35 years old gentleman, from Keraniganj, Dhaka came to Apollo Hospitals Dhaka with the diagnosis of carcinoma lower rectum and got admitted under Associate Professor Dr Mohammad Farid Hossain who is a renowned G.I. Surgical oncologist. Laparoscopic surgery (without cutting abdomen) was performed, called laparoscopic abdomino-perineal excision of the rectum. Laparoscopic surgery is less traumatic, almost blood less (does not require any blood transfusion) with minimum pain during post-operative period.
