Abstract

A new era has emerged in rectal cancer surgery—transanal total mesorectal excision (TME). Various platforms have been used to facilitate this novel approach, including transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) and transanal endoscopic microsurgery. We have previously reported the use of TAMIS-TME. This is a report of the first human case of robotic-assisted transanal surgery for TME.
