Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (taTME) is a minimally invasive approach to rectal cancer surgery that allows for precise removal of rectal tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. The procedure is performed through the anus using specialized instruments, which offers several advantages over traditional open surgery.

taTME is particularly useful for tumors located in the lower part of the rectum, allowing the surgeon to access and excise the tumor with greater accuracy. This method also provides better visualization of the surgical site and can lead to reduced recovery times and less postoperative pain.

Postoperative care focuses on pain management, wound care, and monitoring for complications such as bleeding or infection. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the surgery.

Transanal total mesorectal excision offers improved outcomes for patients with rectal cancer, providing a less invasive option with enhanced precision, faster recovery, and better long-term results.
