Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) was developed in 1983 for rectal tumor excision.
  • The technique allows for the removal of lesions located 5-25 cm from the anal verge.
  • Experience has led to its application in treating rectal tumors and distal sigmoid colon lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) for local excision of rectal adenomas and early-stage cancers.
  • To assess the preliminary outcomes and recovery profile of patients undergoing TEM.

Main Methods:

  • TEM was utilized for the surgical excision of rectal tumors in 13 patients.
  • The patient cohort included cases of rectal adenomas and pT-1, G-1 rectal cancers.

  • Postoperative follow-up protocols were established based on pathology.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary results indicate that TEM is an effective surgical treatment for selected patients.
    • Patients experienced a short hospital stay (4 days) and returned to professional activity within two weeks.
    • Follow-up schedules included annual checks for adenomas and more frequent monitoring for early rectal cancers.

    Conclusions:

    • Local excision of rectal adenomas and early cancers using TEM is a viable and effective surgical option.
    • TEM demonstrates promising outcomes in terms of efficacy and patient recovery for specific rectal pathologies.
