Background The risks of local recurrence and treatment-related morbidity need to be
balanced after local excision of early rectal cancer. The aim of this meta-analysis was to …

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

Background and study aims: Large (> 2 cm) rectal adenomas are currently treated by either
transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) or piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection …

Background T1 rectal cancer (RC) patients are increasingly being treated by local resection
alone but uniform surveillance strategies thereafter are lacking. To determine whether …

Background Peritoneal perforation (PP) is frequently reported as a complication of transanal
endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). Nevertheless, these concerns have only rarely been …

Background Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) has revolutionized the technique
and outcome of transanal surgery, becoming the standard of treatment for large sessile …

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) was introduced in 1983 as a minimally invasive
technique allowing the resection of adenomas and early rectal carcinomas unsuitable for …

Transanal excision (TE), endoscopic transanal resection (ETAR) and transanal endoscopic

Background. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) has been used for several decades
for excision of neoplastic lesions in the rectum. With the development of natural orifice …

Disposable single-port surgery devices have been used for transanal minimally invasive
surgery (TAMIS). Their advantage, compared to transanal endoscopic microsurgery, is that …
