Transanal endoscopic and robot-assisted microsurgery for rectal tumors

Key Points

• Transanal microsurgery demonstrates efficacy in managing rectal tumors with minimal invasiveness, and robotic assistance enhances precision.
• Long-term postoperative follow-up is crucial to monitor complications and disease recurrence in patients treated for rectal tumors.
• Assessment of indications for transanal microsurgery remains an open question, necessitating further research.
• Results suggest the synergy of transanal and robotic surgical techniques may improve patient outcomes and surgical precision.
