Title: | Transanal total mesorectal excision: technical aspects of approaching the mesorectal plane from below | Authors: | KNOL, Joep Chadi, Sami A. |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | MINIMALLY INVASIVE THERAPY & ALLIED TECHNOLOGIES, 25(5), p. 257-270 | Abstract: | Standardization of transanal total mesorectal excision requires the delineation of the principal procedural components before implementation in practice. This technique is a bottom-up approach to a proctectomy with the goal of a complete mesorectal excision for optimal outcomes of oncologic treatment. A detailed stepwise description of the approach with technical pearls is provided to optimize one's understanding of this technique and contribute to reducing the inherent risk of beginning a new procedure. Surgeons should be trained according to standardized pathways including online preparation, observational or hands-on courses as well as the potential for proctorship of early cases experiences. Furthermore, technological pearls with access to the "video-in-photo" (VIP) function, allow surgeons to link some of the images in this article to operative demonstrations of certain aspects of this technique. | Keywords: | TaTME; rectal cancer; mesorectum | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/26527 | ISSN: | 1364-5706 | e-ISSN: | 1365-2931 | DOI: | 10.1080/13645706.2016.1206572 | ISI #: | 000384531900006 | Rights: | (C) 2016 SMIT - Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
