Abdominoperineal resection is an established surgical approach used to treat rectal malignancies, known for advantages such as decreased blood loss and quicker patient recovery times. Despite these known clinical benefits, performing the procedure via minimally invasive techniques remains difficult in low-resource environments. These difficulties stem largely from restricted access to advanced laparoscopic tools and equipment. This report documents the successful use of laparoscopic management to treat a patient presenting with a low rectal tumour within a resource-limited hospital setting, demonstrating that such interventions can be carried out under these constrained conditions.
Laparoscopic surgery offers significant clinical benefits, but hospitals in low-resource settings often lack the advanced tools required for these procedures. Demonstrating that complex interventions like abdominoperineal resections can be completed successfully in constrained environments shows that minimally invasive cancer care is achievable despite limited resources.

Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is a popular surgical method for rectal malignancies, offering benefits such as reduced blood loss and faster recovery. However, its application in low-resource settings is challenging due to limited access to advanced laparoscopic equipment. This case report points out a successful laparoscopic management of a case of low rectal tumor in a resource-limited setting.
