BACKGROUND: Since its inception in 2009, transanal minimally invasive surgery has been used increasingly the United States and internationally as an alternative to local excision endoscopic microsurgery for of neoplasms distal mid rectum. Despite increasing acceptance, clinical benefits have not yet validated. OBJECTIVE: The aim this study is assess adequacy benign malignant lesions DESIGN: This a retrospective analysis consecutive patients who underwent at single institution. SETTINGS: was...
Minimally invasive approaches to proctectomy for rectal cancer have not been widely adopted due inherent technical challenges. A modification of traditional transabdominal mobilization, termed transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME), has the potential improve access distal rectum. The aim current study is assess outcomes following TaTME cancer.This a retrospective analysis prospectively maintained database consecutive patients who underwent at single institution. period was from 1 March...
Objective: To identify risk factors for urethral and urologic injuries during transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) evaluate outcomes. Background: Urethral injury is a rare complication of abdominoperineal resection (APR) that has not been reported abdominal proctectomy. The Low Rectal Cancer Development Program international taTME registry recently 0.8% incidence, but actual incidence mechanisms remain largely unknown. Methods: A retrospective analysis cases complicated by was...
This study describes the outcomes for 200 consecutive transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) local excision (LE) rectal neoplasia.TAMIS is an advanced platform that can result in high quality LE of neoplasia.Consecutive patients from July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2015 a prospective institutional registry were analyzed. Indication TAMIS was endoscopically unresectable benign lesions or histologically favorable early cancers. The primary endpoints resection quality, neoplasia recurrence,...
To compare the quality of surgical resection transanal total mesorectal excision (TA-TME) and robotic (R-TME).Both TA-TME R-TME have been advocated to improve surgery for rectal cancer below 10 cm from anal verge, but there are little data comparing R-TME.Data patients undergoing or verge a sphincter-saving procedure 5 high-volume referral centers between 2011 2017 were obtained. Coarsened exact matching was used create balanced cohorts R-TME. The main outcome incidence poor-quality...
Transanal total mesorectal excision is a new approach to curative-intent rectal cancer surgery. Training and surgeon experience with this has not been assessed previously in America.The purpose of study was characterize structured training program determine the delegate surgeons.Data were assimilated from an anonymous, online survey delivered attendees on course completion. Data performance during hands-on cadaveric dissection collected prospectively.This conducted at single tertiary...
There are no data comparing the quality of local excision rectal neoplasms using transanal endoscopic microsurgery and minimally invasive surgery.The purpose this study was to compare incidence tumor fragmentation positive margins for patients undergoing benign malignant versus surgery.This a multi-institutional cohort coarsened exact matching.The conducted at high-volume tertiary institutions with specialist colorectal surgeons.Patients full-thickness were included.Transanal surgery...
Abstract Background The use of social media platforms among healthcare professionals is increasing. A Twitter campaign promoting the hashtag #colorectalsurgery was launched with aim providing a specialty-specific forum to collate discussions and science relevant an engaged, global community coloproctologists. This article reviews initial experiences early adoption, engagement utilization this pilot initiative. Methods promoted via online microblogging service across 180-day interval. Data on...
