The goal of treatment for early stage rectal cancer is to optimize oncologic control while
minimizing the long-term impact of treatment on quality of life. The standard of care treatment …

Rectal cancer is the second most common cancer in large intestine. The prevalence and the
number of young patients diagnosed with rectal cancer have made it as one of the major …

Background This study aimed to compare the oncologic results for local excision via
transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and those for laparoscopic resection (LR) via total …

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 …

Hypothesis Despite the noninclusion of locally draining lymph nodes, limited resection of
low-risk pT1 rectal cancer can achieve an adequate oncological outcome with lower …

Background Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) allows locally complete excision of
rectal tumours and provides an alternative to conventional surgery for benign tumours …

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

Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and transanal endoscopic
microsurgery (TEM) are minimally invasive procedures that can be used to treat early rectal …

Introduction Traditionally, selected early distal rectal cancers have been considered for
treatment by transanal excision (TAE) with acceptable oncologic results. With the frequent …

Background Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for rectal tumors has been
introduced as an alternative approach to transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). TEM …
