Anterior resection with total mesorectal excision

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The operation of anterior resection with total mesorectal excision (TME) has become the gold standard for the treatment of cancer of the rectum, except where the tumour is close to or involving the anal sphincter complex. The reason for this relates to the low incidence of local recurrence after this procedure, which has now been reported by several independent groups.^1-3 Although controversy still exists around the role of TME in tumours of the upper rectum, it is now widely accepted for tumours of the middle and lower third.⁴
