Abstract
Rectal stenosis following low anterior resection is common. Several methods of treatment have been described. We introduce a simple method for the treatment of anastomotic stenosis using a conventional proctoscope and an electric knife with a Foley catheter as an anvil. Under direct vision, this technique can afford accurate and sage incision of stenosis.
