A single-port robotic platform may address many of the challenges associated with single-incision laparoscopy. However, it lacks compatible stapling devices. Consequently, performing the distal rectal transection with linear laparoscopic staplers is suboptimal, as it often requires significant enlargement of the abdominal defect at the stoma site. The transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis technique offers a practical solution, compensating for the absence of staplers while potentially providing additional benefits.</p><p><strong>Impact of innovation: </strong>Integrating the single-port robotic platform with the transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis technique may provide technical advantages for restorative rectal surgery through a minimally invasive, single-incision approach. This strategy eliminates the need for fascial enlargement, additional ports, and staplers, potentially lowering procedural costs. The use of an exoscope enhances the visualization of the transanal phase and improves the potential for learning.</p><p><strong>Technology, materials, and methods: </strong>A fully robotic single-port mesenteric lengthening and proctectomy were performed. The pouch was constructed through the stoma site, and the specimen was retrieved transanally.

The operation was completed without the need for additional port placement. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4.

Its broader implementation will be further supported by the integration of advanced devices into the single-port platform.
