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

Objective: To compare transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) with conventional
transanal excision (TAE) in terms of the quality of resection, local recurrence, and survival …

Transanal excision (TE), endoscopic transanal resection (ETAR) and transanal endoscopic
microsurgery (TEM) can be used to remove adenomatous polyps. However, their use is …

Purpose: In previous studies, local excision was predominantly established for “low-risk” pT1
rectal cancer. The results obtained with T2 tumors are unclear; recurrence rates of 0 to 67 …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oncologic and functional
outcomes of intersphincteric resection in ultralow rectal cancer. METHODS: From 2000 to …

Background Local excision (LE) of T1 rectal cancer yields low recurrence rates. However,
more frequent recurrences with unknown states of high-risk T1/T2 tumors are risk factors …

OBJECTIVE: To compare local resection of early rectal tumours by transanal endoscopic
microsurgery (TEM) and the conventional posterior trans-sphincteric approach (Mason's …

Local excision of rectal cancer is appealing because of its technical ease and excellent
functional results, but concern over inadequate pathologic staging and inferior treatment …

Purpose Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a minimally invasive procedure used
to transanally excise select benign and malignant tumors of the rectum. In properly selected …

Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) can access the whole rectum up to
20 cm from the anal verge. Due to its excellent view and accurate dissection, TEM is useful …
