Clinical use of a front lifting hood rectoscope tube for transanal endoscopic microsurgery

Abstract: These modifications have made TEM easier and will therefore make the procedure available to more surgeons.

“…Previous studies have reported the successful treatment of rectal tumors resected by TEM using a similar design to our gasless VTEM. Their reports also revealed good results with lower complication and recurrence rates as well as shorter hospital stays [1,13,16,35,37]. These patients benefited from an effective, minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgery [35].…”

“…In sequence, Japanese surgeons have modified the VETM performing it without gas inflation. These two main modifications of the original technique reduced the equipment price in approximately US$ 50000.00 [24][25][26]39]. Despite that the literature on the local excision of rectal tumors indicates high survival rates and good results about the local control of the disease, selection criteria for patient are restrict.…”

“…In these circumstances, there is an indication for a transanal endoscopic surgery. In the absence of economic viability for the material acquisition, and surgical experience with complex methods like the TEM used by Buess [21,22] as also for the videoendoscopic transanal microsurgery (VE T M ) u s e d b y S w a n s t r o n [ 2 3 ] o r t h e videoendoscopic transanal microsurgery without inflations [17,[24][25][26] we have idealized, researched and executed a more simple technique, so called Transanal Endoscopic Operation (TEO). In the present study, the main objective is to present the TEO as a method for local transanal excision of selected rectal lesions, and to present our clinical and surgical experience with this new method, comparing the results with those obtained with the well established endoscopic techniques available in the literature.…”

[23][24][25]36 Despite that the literature on the local excision of rectal tumors indicates high survival rates and good results about the local control of the disease, selection criteria for patient are restrict. Only about 3 to 8% of invasive rectal tumors are qualified for this kind of treatment, based on those criteria.…”
