We present the case of a 70-year-old male with a presacral tumor known to be recurrent prostate cancer with an operative plan of a low anterior resection versus abdominoperineal resection. Intraoperatively, the presacral tumor was adherent to both the sacrum and rectum. Careful dissection of the tumor off of the sacrum allowed for full mobilization of the colon and rectum, which in turn allowed for a stapled coloanal anastomosis with preservation of the sphincter complex and restoration of function.
