Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) shows improved anorectal function within a year post-surgery for rectal tumors. This minimally invasive approach offers better outcomes compared to traditional methods, enhancing patient recovery and quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is recognized for lower morbidity and mortality rates compared to traditional rectal tumor operations.
  • Limited data exists regarding the functional outcomes following TEM procedures.
  • Assessing functional recovery is crucial for evaluating the overall benefit of TEM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the functional outcomes after transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for rectal tumors.
  • To assess changes in anorectal function and patient-reported symptoms post-TEM.
  • To provide data on functional recovery following this minimally invasive surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 42 patients undergoing TEM for rectal tumors.

  • Preoperative and postoperative assessments at three months and one year using anorectal manometry.
  • Standardized patient interviews to evaluate continence and defecation disorders.

    • Main Results:

    • Anorectal manometry indicated impaired function at three months, with significant improvement by one year post-TEM.
    • A subset of patients reported temporary issues with continence and defecation disorders at three months.
    • These functional deficits demonstrated recovery within the first postoperative year.

    Conclusions:

    • Functional outcomes after TEM appear to be favorable, with recovery observed within the first year.
    • While direct comparison is challenging, TEM's functional results may surpass those of anterior rectal resection for rectal tumors.
    • TEM offers a promising alternative for rectal tumors, considering both oncological and functional aspects.
