Summary

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery offers a minimally invasive approach for rectal and sigmoid colon tumor excision. This technique allows precise, sphincter-preserving local resection without abdominal or perineal incisions.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Local excision of rectal and sigmoid colon tumors is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Traditional surgical approaches may involve significant morbidity.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to improve oncological control and patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique and application of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS).
  • To evaluate the feasibility of TEMS for local tumor excision in the rectum and lower sigmoid colon.
  • To highlight the benefits of TEMS in achieving sphincter preservation.

Main Methods:

  • TEMS utilizes specialized endoscopic instruments for transanal dissection.
  • Procedures involve precise suturing and tumor resection through the anus.
  • Abdominal or perineal incisions are avoided.

Main Results:

  • TEMS enables precise dissection and suturing in the rectal and sigmoid regions.
  • Sphincter-preserving local resection is achievable with this technique.
  • The procedure avoids the need for abdominal or perineal incisions, potentially reducing recovery time and complications.

Conclusions:

  • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is an effective minimally invasive option for local tumor excision.
  • It facilitates sphincter preservation and avoids extensive surgical trauma.
  • TEMS represents a valuable advancement in the surgical management of selected rectal and sigmoid tumors.
