Abstract:
Rectal preservation is gaining popularity in the surgical treatment of degenerated rectal polyps or early rectal cancer (1,2). Tis/T1 rectal lesions can be safely treated without chemoradiation (3). Treatment by transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) offers more advantages than endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) (4). The authors report a 60 year-old woman who underwent TAMIS for a large polyp located anteriorly in the middle 1/3 of the rectum, 7 cm from the dentate line and staged preoperatively as uTisN0M0.
