Abstract

Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS), which can provide high-quality local excision for rectal neoplasia, has emerged as an important alternative to transanal endoscopic microsurgery. The role of TAMIS beyond local excision has also been explored, and it has been shown that this platform can be used for complete rectal resection with total mesorectal excision (TME). The stepwise approach to TAMIS for TME is described and illustrated in video format.
