Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is an effective and safe minimally invasive rectal surgery. This prospective analysis of 50 cases shows TEM is cost-beneficial for rectal lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a minimally invasive rectal surgery technique.
  • First utilized in April 1997, this study analyzes the initial 50 TEM procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of transanal endoscopic microsurgery.
  • To assess the cost-benefit of TEM for selected rectal lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection from April 1997 to June 2000 for 50 TEM procedures.
  • Analysis included lesion characteristics, surgical details, complications, and follow-up data.

Main Results:

  • 36 benign and 14 malignant lesions treated; mean distance from anal verge 8.7 cm.

  • Mean operative time 67 minutes, mean blood loss 24 mL; 78% complete excision.
  • Low complication rate (fever, urinary retention, bleeding); 5% local recurrence rate for adenomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is effective and safe for local excision of rectal lesions.
    • TEM is a cost-beneficial option for selected middle and upper rectal lesions.
    • Successful application of TEM in the initial cohort demonstrates its value in rectal surgery.
