Popis: We report a case of locally advanced rectal cancer invading toward sacrum treated by laparoscopic low anterior resection. A man in his 60's was diagnosed with rectal cancer expanding near to sacrum. The circumferential resection margin was assessed to be scarce. After preoperative chemotherapy, we performed laparoscopic low anterior resection. In order to obtain surgical margin, we had to cut into presacral venous plexus. With prepared sufficient devices, hemostasis was safely acquired. Pathological findings revealed clear surgical margin. It is important to prepare appropriate hemostasis devices in managing cases with high risks of intraoperative hemorrhage. Laparoscopic approach may contribute to these cases, making hemostasis easier than laparotomy with the magnified view, pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position.
