Background:

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) has been utilized since 1993.
Rectal tumor excision is a common surgical procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the application and benefits of transanal endoscopic microsurgery for rectal tumors.
To highlight the accuracy and completeness of excision using TEMS.

Main Methods:

Utilizes a specialized operating sigmoidoscope for rectal access.
Involves precise dissection of benign and early invasive rectal tumors.
Employs histological confirmation to ensure complete tumor removal.

Main Results:

TEMS facilitates accurate dissection of rectal lesions.
The procedure ensures safe and complete excision of tumors.
Histological confirmation verifies the success of the excision.

Conclusions:

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is an effective method for excising rectal tumors.
The technique provides accurate, safe, and complete tumor removal.
Histological confirmation is crucial for validating successful TEMS outcomes.
