Abstract:
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery has been performed in our institution since 1993 (Curran et al, 1994). It involves the use of a specially designed operating sigmoidoscope to excise benign and early invasive tumours from the rectum. It allows for accurate dissection of these lesions ensuring safe and complete excision with histological confirmation of this.
