Transanal versus transabdominal specimen extraction in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery: a retrospective analysis from China.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic TSE is recommended in the treatment of rectal cancer with similar oncologic outcomes compared with conventional TASE. It is mini-invasive surgery and has the advantage of better cosmetic results. There is a need for further randomized studies to refine the applicability of laparoscopic TSE in rectal cancer.
