Tumors at the level of the anorectal junction had required total levator-ani muscle excision to achieve an adequate resection margin. However, in the cases of tumor invading ipsilateral levator-ani muscle and intact external sphincter, en bloc resection of rectum with levator-ani muscle including tumor would be possible. This hemilevator excision (HLE) technique enables preserving the anal sphincter function while obtaining oncologic clearance and avoiding permanent colostomy in those patients. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and feasibility of HLE.
