Abstract

Purpose To date, no data have been available to inform which cases are appropriate for natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) after laparoscopic colorectal resections (LCRRs). Our aim was to evaluate the success rate and the factors affecting the failure in patients who were scheduled for NOSE after LCRRs.
