Benign rectal strictures arise from a variety of causes, and numerous techniques have been developed to deal with them. When even the most innovative methods of stricture treatment fail, major resection may be required. An alternative to resection is desirable.A case is presented in which the Proximate curved intraluminal stapler was used to perform successful stricturoplasty of a low rectal stricture when other methods failed.Circular stapled rectal stricturoplasty provided a wide lumen, minimized perforation risk, and preserved continence.Circular stapled rectal stricturoplasty is an option to consider when other treatments for rectal stricture fail.
