Three separate punctures were made in the fascia with a 5\u00a0mm scope in the middle and 5\u00a0mm and 3\u00a0mm ports for working instruments on the left and right, respectively. The first suspension suture was placed to secure the sigmoid colon to the abdominal wall. A window was created through the rectal mesentery, and dissection around the rectum was carried out. The second suspension suture was performed to suspend the rectovesical peritoneal fold or the rectovaginal peritoneal fold to the abdominal wall. Dissection around the rectum was continued downward to approximately 1\u00a0cm below the peritoneal fold. Then, the operation was completed by a transanal approach.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Forty patients underwent SILEP from March 2013 to April 2015.

The average hospitalization time was 4.5\u2009\u00b1\u20092\u00a0days. There were no intraoperative or perioperative complications. Long-term follow-up results were obtained from 38 patients. A frequency of defecation from every other day to twice a day was noted for 33 patients (86.8%) and more often for 5 patients (13.2%).
