Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) offers a minimally invasive alternative for rectal tumors, with low morbidity and mortality. This technique is ideal for large adenomas and early-stage rectal cancers in the rectal ampulla.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Conventional abdominal surgery for rectal lesions carries significant risks.
  • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) provides a specialized approach for rectal adenomas and early malignancies.
  • The application of endoanal excision is dependent on lesion characteristics.

Purpose:

  • To review the authors' experience and literature on Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM).
  • To detail the protocol for TEM, including patient selection, preparation, technique, and follow-up.
  • To evaluate TEM as an alternative to conventional abdominal surgery for rectal pathologies.

Summary:

  • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a specialized technique for resecting large rectal adenomas and early-stage malignancies in the rectal ampulla.

  • TEM offers a low-morbidity, near-zero mortality alternative to traditional abdominal surgeries like low anterior resection.
  • The technique demonstrates comparable recurrence rates to abdominal surgery, with minimal impact on urinary, sexual, or fecal function.

    • Impact:

    • TEM is established as the preferred technique for specific rectal adenomas and pT1 stage rectal cancers.
    • The procedure avoids common complications associated with abdominal surgery, such as urinary or sexual dysfunction.
    • Further research into patient selection and neoadjuvant therapy is needed for advanced rectal cancer cases.
