Indications and Technical Considerations for Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision
CASE SUMMARY:
A 53-year-old man presented after noting bright red blood from his rectum. On examination, he was found to have a mass 1 cm above the anal sphincter complex. He had a BMI of 40 kg/m2 and was otherwise healthy. MRI revealed a T2/early T3 lesion with extramural venous invasion and suspicious perirectal lymph nodes. Low rectal cancer was diagnosed. He underwent long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiation with good but not complete clinical response. Given his obesity and the low nature of his rectal cancer, a transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) was planned. (Source: Diseases of the Colon and Rectum)
