Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (TaTME)

Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (TaTME) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat rectal cancer. It involves removing the rectum and surrounding fatty tissue (mesorectum) through the anus using specialized equipment and a bottom-up approach. This method provides better visibility and access, especially in difficult cases like low or narrow pelvis, potentially leading to more precise removal of cancerous tissue. TaTME aims to improve outcomes, reduce complications, and increase the chances of cancer being completely removed, ultimately helping patients recover faster and reduce the risk of recurrence.
