Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) has evolved over the past decade fueled by
advances in minimally invasive surgery. The technique aims to overcome the constraints …

Aim The surgical technique used for transanal total mesorectal excision (Ta TME) was
reviewed including the oncological quality of resection and the peri‐operative outcome …

Background Total mesorectal excision is the standard surgical treatment for mid-and low-
rectal cancer. Laparoscopy represents a clear leap forward in the management of rectal …

Background The challenge of performing a good total mesorectal excision (TME) dissection,
particularly in the distal 1/3 of the rectum, has spurred interest in new techniques. Robotic …

Purpose Treatment of rectal cancer often results in disturbed anorectal function, which can
be quantified by the Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) score. This study …

Background and objectives Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is positioned at the
cutting edge of minimally invasive approach to mid-and low rectal cancer. This meta …

Background Transabdominal laparoscopic proctectomy (LAP) for rectal cancer was
associated with postoperative recovery improvement. Early studies showed favorable short …

AIM: To describe the role of Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) in minimally
invasive rectal cancer surgery, to examine the differences in patient selection and in …

Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is the most recent approach
developed to improve pelvic dissection in surgery for mid and low rectal tumors. There are …

Aim The internal anal sphincter (IAS) contributes substantially to anorectal functions. While
its autonomic nerve supply has been studied at the microscopic level, little information is …
