Background Resection of low rectal adenocarcinoma can be challenging in the narrow
pelvis of male patients. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) appears to offer …

Introduction: The best approach for total mesorectal excision (TME) remains controversial.
Two recently described approaches are robotic TME (RTME) and transanal TME (TaTME) …

Background The quality of total mesorectal excision (TME) is regarded as a fundamental key
to the oncological outcome of rectal cancer. Robotic low anterior resection (RLAR) and …

Background Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard surgery for low/mid locally
advanced rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to compare three minimally invasive …

Background Total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer can be achieved using open
(OpTME), laparoscopic (LapTME), robotic (RoTME), or transanal techniques (TaTME) …

Background Total mesorectal excision (TME) has greatly reduced the local recurrence rate
of rectal cancer after colorectal surgery. Transanal TME (TaTME) is potentially a suitable …

Purpose This study aimed to compare short-term postoperative and oncologic outcomes of a
transanal endoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) to those of a transabdominal robotic …

Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is technically challenging. Robotic and transanal
TME (TaTME) are both novel approaches developed to provide better visualization and …

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is accepted as the gold standard for oncological resection
in rectal cancer. The best approach to TME is debated and often surgeons will select a …

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the gold standard technique for the surgical management
of rectal cancer. The transanal approach to the mesorectum was introduced to overcome the …
