PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence relating to the
safety and efficacy of transanal endoscopic microsurgery, a relatively new technique used to …

Purpose: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery, developed by Buess in the 1980s, has
become increasingly popular in recent years. No large studies have compared the …

BACKGROUND: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a faster and safer alternative to
traditional surgical treatment of adenomas and low-risk (T1) rectal tumors. However …

PURPOSE: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery provides a minimally invasive alternative to
radical surgery for excision of benign and malignant rectal tumors. The purpose of this study …

BACKGROUND: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery, a minimally invasive procedure for
treatment of early-stage rectal cancer, carcinoid tumors, and adenomas, is shown to be a …

Background: Local excision of rectal lesions is being increasingly undertaken, especially in
those unfit for major surgery. The traditional transanal approach is often cumbersome and …

Aims: This review of literature aimed to assess the role and establish the current status of
transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) in the management of benign and malignant …

Purpose Local excision of malignant rectal tumors remains controversial due to the lack of
prospective studies. The principal aim of this paper is to analyze survival and recurrence of …

PURPOSE: Abdominal resection for rectal neoplasms is associated with significant
morbidity. Local excision with retractors can be proposed only for distal rectal lesions. With …

Rectal adenomas and cancers occur frequently. Small adenomas can be removed
colonoscopically, whereas larger polyps are removed via conventional transanal excision …
