Abstract

Abstract:

First introduced in the year of 1983, transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a surgical technique that takes full advantages of both endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery. The technique allows the surgeon to excision of complex rectal lesions fully and accurately with a three-dimensional surgical view of 6 times the size of the naked eye. This article was developed on our own clinical experience and large-scale paper review to illustrate the preoperative assessment of the technique of transanal endoscopic microsurgery, as well as unveil its traditional indications and innovative applications on treating rectal diseases.

Key words: Rectal neoplasms, Surgical procedures, minimally invasive, Transanal endoscopic microsurgery, Indications, Application
