Low anterior resection (LAR) with total mesorectal excision (TME) can present a technical
challenge in patients with middle or lower third rectal tumors. The challenge increases in …

Background: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a novel technique to treat rectal
cancer and also to obtain good-quality specimens. This study investigated the clinical results …

Laparoscopic surgery is widely used for rectal cancer; however, this technique is
challenging due to tapering of the mesorectum in the pelvis, and the forward angle of the …

Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is a novel approach to radical surgery for low
rectal cancer. taTME is associated with the benefits of a higher rate of free distal resection …

Background: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is potentially the answer to
refractory challenges in rectal cancer surgery. The surgical dissection in the deep pelvis is …

Rectal cancer has always posed surgical challenges to the colorectal surgeon. The quality
of the total mesorectal excision (TME) performed is key in determining local disease control …

Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is emerging as a novel alternative
to laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LaTME). The aim of this study was to compare …

The introduction of new surgical techniques and technologies has traditionally been
unregulated. In many settings surgeons frequently adopt novel procedures without following …

Abstract Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (TaTME) has recently been developed to
overcome the difficulties associated with conventional laparoscopic or robotic TME. TaTME …

Objective To compare short-term results of total mesorectal excision (TME) for mid and low
rectal cancer, achieved by transanal (TaTME), laparoscopic (LaTME), and open (OpTME) …
