How to deal with rectal lesions more than 15 cm from the anal verge through transanal endoscopic microsurgery

2015, International Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The gold standard in rectal cancer surgery continues to be total mesorectal excision (TME) [1]. However, TME is associated with high morbidity: urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and the need for temporary or permanent ostomies in 10–30% of cases [2–5]. The introduction of Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM), first described by Buess [6] in 1983, allowed local excision of rectal lesions up to 15–20 cm from the anal verge.
