Aim We present a para‐sacral approach followed by a laparoscopic low anterior resection of gastrointestinal stromal tumours located between the urethra and the low rectum. Method Case 1 is a 56‐year‐old male patient whose tumour (37 × 28 mm) was located 3.0 cm above the anal verge between the anterior wall of the rectum and the urethra; he underwent surgery after 14 months’ administration of imatinib mesylate (400 mg/day). Case 2 is a 68‐year‐old male patient who presented with dysuria; a tumour (89 × 84 mm) was detected between the urethra and the anterior wall of the low rectum by MRI. He underwent surgery after 5 months’ administration of imatinib mesylate (400 mg/day). In order to perform sphincter‐preserving surgery and avoid injury not only to the tumour capsule but also to the urethra, a para‐sacral approach followed by laparoscopic low anterior resection was adopted in these patients. Restoration of bowel continuity was done by coloanal anastomosis in case 1 and the double stapling technique in case 2. The postoperative course of the patients was uneventful. In case 2, tumour dissection from the urethra caused injury to the posterior wall of the urethra, which could be repaired easily under direct vision. The urethral catheter was removed after 117 postoperative days, and the diverting stoma was closed after 143 postoperative days. Conclusion The para‐sacral approach followed by a laparoscopic low anterior resection of an extraluminal gastrointestinal stromal tumour located between the urethra and anterior wall of the low rectum enables R0 resection of the tumour and an appropriate reconstruction of the rectum.
