DOI: 10.1002/cam4.70307
Abstract: The hiatal ligament, as the anatomical landmark for the completion of total mesorectal excision (TME) for ultra‐low rectal cancer, represents a continuation of the longitudinal muscle of the rectum. It receives vascular supply from the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jso.27076
Abstract: Robotic surgery for rectal cancer is gaining popularity, but persuasive evidence on reducing surgical trauma is still lacking. This study compared robotic and laparoscopic abdominoperineal resections (APRs) for the risk of postoperative complications in low… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00384-018-3126-3
Abstract: PurposeIntraoperative pelvic neuromapping with electrophysiological evaluation of autonomic nerve preservation during robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer is conventionally performed by the bedside assistant with a hand-guided probe. Our goal was to return… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00384-020-03514-0
Abstract: Purpose In patients with low rectal cancer, the intraoperative assessment of sufficient distal resection margins can be challenging. The assessment determines whether reconstruction can be performed or whether permanent colostomy is required. The goal of… read more here.
