Transanal mesorectal excision is a novel, ingenious approach in the dissection of the rectum which begins from the perineum and proceeds more proximally in a sort of retrograde fashion compared with more traditional dissection techniques. Its purported advantage is facilitating the dissection of the distal rectum. It remains a controversial approach and requires specific training. The adoption of this technique has been unsuccessful in Norway as this article delineates, among other experiences with more favorable results.

摘要

Transanal mesorectal excision is a novel, ingenious approach in the dissection of the rectum which begins from the perineum and proceeds more proximally in a sort of retrograde fashion compared with more traditional dissection techniques. Its purported advantage is facilitating the dissection of the distal rectum. It remains a controversial approach and requires specific training. The adoption of this technique has been unsuccessful in Norway as this article delineates, among other experiences with more favorable results.
