Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are relatively uncommon rectal neoplasms, and the liver is the most common site of distant metastasis. Simultaneous liver and colorectal resections by minimally invasive surgery and natural orifice specimen extraction are gaining popularity, reducing morbidity. We describe a case of rectal NET with liver metastasis operated simultaneously by laparoscopy with both specimens extracted via the anal canal. Transanal or transvaginal natural orifice specimen extraction surgery for suitable cases is underutilized and only isolated case reports for simultaneous resections exist.
