AB  - Laparoscopic  low  anterior  resection  (LAR)  is  used  for  removal  of  rectal  cancer  and  benign  diseases  with  the  intent  of  removing  the  rectum  and  restoring  the  continuity  of  the  bowel  with  an  anastomosis  in  the  pelvis.  The  LAR  has  been  a  standard  of  care  for  high  and  mid  rectal  cancer  for  many  years  and,  with  certain  modifications,  is  now  available  to  individuals  with  low  rectal  cancer.  This  chapter  deals  with  the  routine  removal  of  the  rectum  and  its  mesentery  and  the  reconstruction  of  continuity  within  the  pelvis  above  the  anal  canal.
