Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for T1 rectal cancer

Léon Maggiori et al. Acta Chir Iugosl. 2012.

Abstract

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) was introduced in 1983 as an alternative to radical proctectomy for the management of rectal adenomas unsuitable for endoscopic or standard transanal resection. Since, its indications have progressively broadened to early rectal cancer. This review article will assess the role of TEM for T1 rectal cancer management, along with its operative and long-term results.
