Transrectal access for Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is a promising alternative to transgastric and transvaginal approaches. However, current methods for transrectal access closure may be unreliable or require incorporation of the access site into a colorectal anastomosis. We present our experience using a novel, transverse, stapled closure technique for transrectal NOTES in a cadaveric model.
