COLOR III: a multicentre randomised clinical trial comparing transanal TME versus laparoscopic TME for mid and low rectal cancer. [PDF]
Total mesorectal excision (TME) is an essential component of surgical management of rectal cancer. Both open and laparoscopic TME have been proven to be oncologically safe. However, it remains a challenge to achieve complete TME with clear circumferential resections margin (CRM) with the conventional transabdominal approach, particularly in mid and low

Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (TaTME): A Literature Review [PDF]
Total mesorectal excision (TME) has become the golden standard for treating rectal cancer since Heald introduced it [1]. Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an innovative surgical method for rectal cancer.

Comparison of Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery and Total Mesorectal Excision in the Treatment of T1 Rectal Cancer: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for the treatment of early-stage rectal cancer has attracted attention due to its advantages of reduced surgical trauma, fewer complications, low operative mortality, rapid postoperative recovery and short hospital

Introduction: Incomplete specimens resulting in residual mesorectum in the patient and an increased risk of local recurrence remains a problem. We have introduced transanal-total mesorectal excision (Ta-TME) in our department to potentially overcome this

A Rare Finding of Retroperitoneal Sepsis Following Robot-Assisted Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS): A Case Report and Review of the Literature. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Robot‐assisted transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is a safe and effective platform for the local excision of early rectal lesions. While postoperative complications such as bleeding or contained perforation are recognized, rapidly progressive retroperitoneal sepsis remains an exceedingly rare occurrence.

Indocyanine green-guided robotic-assisted mesorectal lymphadenectomy for high-risk T1 rectal carcinoma: Preliminary results of a prospective cohort study (IDEAL stage 2a). [PDF]
Abstract Aim Lymph node metastases occur in 10%–15% of high‐risk T1 rectal tumours. Total mesorectal excision remains the standard treatment, whereas chemoradiotherapy is reserved for patients with frailty. Indocyanine green (ICG)‐guided lymphadenectomy may represent an organ‐preserving alternative for patients at high risk of node metastasis.

Robotic, transanal, and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for locally advanced mid/low rectal cancer: European multicentre, propensity score-matched study [PDF]
Background: Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard surgery for low/mid locally advanced rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to compare three minimally invasive surgical approaches for TME with primary anastomosis (laparoscopic TME, robotic ...
