Efforts in reducing Surgical Site Infection (SSI) rates among colorectal patients are implemented in every perioperative aspect: showering before an operation, receiving a correct mechanical and oral antibiotic preparation, utilizing the proper skin disinfectant, and others. Surgeons and the surgical technique they choose play a key role. Laparoscopic surgery is well known to reduce the SSI rate by minimizing skin incisions and allowing for a closed abdomen surgery. Nevertheless, specimen extraction still represents a potential for SSI at the mini- laparotomy site. Proper wall protection is mandatory especially when dealing with malignant disease. One viable option for further reducing the risk of SSI is to perform a  Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction (NOSE). This can be carried out during a colonic surgery (e.g. left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, total colectomy or high anterior rectal resection), by performing an intra-abdominal colonic resection and utilizing for example the rectal stump (t-NOSE) as the extraction site. We here show a laparoscopic intracorporeal double purse stringed anastomosis to restore intestinal continuity. We will discuss the pros and potential cons of this technique in the fight against SSI in colorectal surgery.
