Single port access for minimally invasive surgery is feasible nowadays. We report a 55 years old female presenting with hematochezia. During a colonoscopy, a villous adenoma of 2 cm in diameter located 5 cm above the anal margin, was found. This lesion was excised through the anus, using a single port trocar. The procedure lasted 45 minutes, the postoperative evolution was uneventful and the patient was discharged 24 hours after the procedure.
