Description

<p>Although endoscopic surgery has definitely entered the field of colorectal cancer surgery, endoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is still technically demanding, and certain concerns about curability have been suggested. Recently, transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has been gaining attention along with robotic surgery, aiming to solve such technical problems, and is recognized worldwide.</p><p>TaTME may outperform conventional rectal cancer surgery in both oncological and functional preservation. In particular, there is the great merit that the dissection layer can be selected visually under endoscopy from the anus. Currently, randomized controlled trials of laparoscopic TME and TaTME are planned in the US and Europe, and the usefulness of TaTME is expected to be verified. However, characteristic anatomical recognition and learning curves are raised as issues, and there is an urgent need to develop a training system to ensure safe enforcement.</p>
