DOI: 10.1002/bjs.10332
Abstract: The effect of anastomotic leakage on oncological outcomes after total mesorectal excision (TME) is controversial. This study aimed to assess the influence of symptomatic and asymptomatic anastomotic leakage on oncological outcomes after laparoscopic TME. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11753
Abstract: Editor Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) was developed as a surgical solution for a surgical problem. The lower third mesorectal dissection and transection of rectal cancers presents a significant technical challenge, particularly in the narrow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jso.26795
Abstract: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) avoids the difficulty of laparoscopic dissection of the lower part of the rectum. The need for stoma is associated with many stoma‐related complications. The objective was to compare TaTME with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00384-018-2996-8
Abstract: PurposeCompared with the open approach, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) achieves faster patient recovery, reduces morbidity rates, and shortens hospital stay. However, in laparoscopic low anterior resection (L-LAR), conversion to open surgery is required in… read more here.
