transanal endoscopic surgery (TES)

Transanal endoscopic surgery (TES) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove rectal tumors or growths through the anus, avoiding open surgery. It employs specialized instruments and a camera inserted into the rectum to carefully excise abnormal tissue with precision. This approach reduces recovery time, minimizes pain, and lowers complication risks compared to traditional surgery. TES is often used for early-stage rectal cancers or benign lesions, offering effective removal while preserving rectal function. It reflects advancements in surgical techniques that prioritize patient comfort and functional outcomes.
