Objective To present a meta-analysis of high-quality published reports comparing
laparoscopic rectal resection (LRR) and open rectal resection (ORR) for rectal cancer …

The gold standard for curative treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer involves radical
resection with a total mesorectal excision (TME). TME is the most effective treatment strategy …

Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a relatively new and demanding
technique for rectal cancer treatment. Results from national datasets are absent and …

Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) appeared to be a challenging
alternative to Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision (LaTME) for low and middle rectal …

Background While a shift to minimally invasive techniques in rectal cancer surgery has
occurred, non-inferiority of laparoscopy in terms of oncological outcomes has not been …

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) …

Background The aim in rectal cancer surgery is to cure with minimal impact on the quality of
life. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) seems to be a safe and feasible alternative …

BACKGROUND: Carbon dioxide embolus has been reported as a rare but clinically
important risk associated with transanal total mesorectal excision surgery. To date, there …

Background By improved surgical technique such as total mesorectal excision (TME),
multimodal treatment and advances in imaging survival and an increased rate of sphincter …

Due to the fixed bony structure of the pelvis, the pelvic operation space is limited,
complicating the surgical operation of rectal cancer, especially middle and low rectal cancer …
