Abstract:Introduction: Rectal cancer treatment has changed over the last several decades. Total mesorectal excision (TME) has proven to be the gold standard in rectal cancer surgery. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) and robotic total mesorectal excision (RoTME) for low and mid rectal cancer are implemented to overcome some of the difficulties of the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study is to show a single-center experience in the learning curves of both RoTME and TaTME. Material and methods: A single… Show more
