Abstract:
With the developments in scientific technology and deeper understanding of the disease itself,the surgical treatment for patients with colorectal cancer has undergone some transitions from local resection to total mesorectum excision(TME),from the open operation to laparoscopic surgery,and from laparoscopic surgery to robotic surgery,then it has entered the era of minimally invasive surgery.Under the background of the era,transanal total mesorectal excision(TaTME)has arised at this historic moment.As Dr.Heald said,who created the technique of TME,Ta TME assembles all the characteristics of surgery techniques for rectal cancer.Each stage of its development is highly representative,and it has become a microcosm of the progress in minimally invasive techniques for rectal surgery.
