This article introduces the surgical method and early experience in performing totally laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with transrectal specimen extraction for gastric cancer, and we evaluate the short-term effects and feasibility of this new procedure for gastric cancer in a 64-year-old male patient. This approach may provide new possibilities for gastric natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) surgery. In addition, we believe that this new procedure may further relieve pain, speed up recovery, and cause minimal physiological and psychological impact.
