The aim of this study was to evaluate short‐term outcomes of single‐incision surgery with two segmental colorectal resections and anastomoses for multiple synchronous colorectal cancers. Methods Ten patients with multiple colorectal cancers underwent two synchronous segmental colorectal resections and anastomoses. The methodology of the procedures, operative results, and postoperative outcomes were evaluated. Results The median operative time was 270 min (range, 146–427 min), and the median blood loss was 70 mL (range, 10–260 mL). No conversions to open surgery or intraoperative complications occurred. Four cases needed additional ports, and one case required a diverting stoma. Conclusion SILS with two segmental colorectal resections and anastomoses was safely performed in all cases without severe postoperative complications. This procedure seems to be a feasible option for resecting multiple synchronous colorectal cancers.
