Purpose Laparoscopic surgery for low rectal cancer is often challenging. Transanal total
mesorectal excision (TaTME) and robotic surgery have been introduced to overcome the …

Background Transabdominal robotic surgery and transanal total mesorectal excision
(TaTME) are newly introduced strategies for rectal cancer. These procedures might have …

Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is technically challenging. Robotic and transanal
TME (TaTME) are both novel approaches developed to provide better visualization and …

Background Robotic surgery and transanal minimally invasive surgery are the two recently
developed techniques, which can overcome the difficult pelvic dissection in conventional …

Background Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery for rectal cancer has
important technical limitations. Robot-assisted and transanal TME (TaTME) may overcome …

Background Robotic low anterior resection (RLAR) and transanal total mesorectal excision
(TaTME) are novel surgical techniques for resection of rectal cancer. To our knowledge, no …

Background Laparoscopy-assisted robotic transanal total mesorectal excision is a novel
surgical technique for rectal cancer resection. Compared to prior DaVinci Si system case …

Background Total mesorectal excision (TME) has greatly reduced the local recurrence rate
of rectal cancer after colorectal surgery. Transanal TME (TaTME) is potentially a suitable …

Background The introduction of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) in 2009
allowed colorectal surgeons to approach transanal access with a different perspective. This …

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is currently recognised as the standard of care for patients
with rectal cancer. Complete TME is known to be associated with lower rates of recurrence …
