Transanal TME – really needed? [PDF]
In the last decade, thanks to natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery, the application of laparoscopy through the anus has gained interest from both research and clinical point of views. Therefore, an increased number of transanal procedures have

Transanal TME: new standard or fad? [PDF]
Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) has been developed to overcome the difficulty of laparoscopic dissection and transection in the deep pelvis. TaTME has several clinical benefits over laparoscopic surgery, such as better exposure of the distal ...

Summary: Background: Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard surgical principle in the treatment of rectal cancer. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing debate about how to obtain better results in circumferential margin (CRM ...

A longer pelvis is associated with longer operative time in transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) but not in laparoscopic TME. Results from a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
A narrow pelvis, obesity, and bulky low rectal tumor are perceived as risk factors for intraoperative difficulties during total mesorectal excision (TME), particularly in the laparoscopic approach. A transanal approach has been developed to overcome the difficulties encountered during laparoscopic TME.

Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has been developed to improve the quality of laparoscopic TME for patients with rectal cancer. Recently, international concern on TaTME was raised by a national cohort study showing an increased rate of local recurrences.

Mesentery in Transanal TME. [PDF]
AbstractOncological adequacy in rectal cancer surgery mandates not only a clear distal and circumferential resection margin but also resection of the entire ontogenetic mesorectal package. Incomplete removal of the mesentery is one of the commonest causes of local recurrences.

Long-term oncologic outcomes of transanal TME compared with transabdominal TME for rectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) appears to have favorable surgical and pathological outcomes. However, the evidence on survival outcomes remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to compare long-term oncologic outcomes of TaTME with transabdominal TME for rectal cancer.

Transanal TME: Why Go Bottom-Up!
Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is the latest surgical procedure originally developed for rectal cancer resections. It is believed to confer the greatest benefits over the standard abdominal ‘top-down’ approach in the more difficult pelvic dissections, in particular, the low bulky rectal tumours in obese males with a narrow pelvis, in which

Clinical progress and technological innovations in sphincter-preserving treatment for ultra-low rectal cancer [PDF]
Ultra-low rectal cancer (defined as a tumor located within 5 cm from the anal verge) poses unique challenges owing to its distinctive anatomical location, necessitating an optimal balance between oncologic safety and functional preservation.

Comparison of transanal total mesorectal excision and robotic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer: an inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis [PDF]
Background Both transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) and robotic total mesorectal excision (robotic TME) have been developed to optimize mesorectal dissection quality in rectal cancer surgery.
