Transanal versus robotic total mesorectal excision for mid- and low-rectal cancer: A single-center comparative cohort of 109 patients.
Journal of robotic surgery 20260227 1
Minimally invasive total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer can be performed via transanal TME (TaTME) or robotic TME (R-TME), yet comparative evidence in predominantly non-obese Asian cohorts remains limited. We evaluated a consecutive retrospective cohort during our institutional transition from TaTME to R-TME. Between 2016 and 2022, 109 patients with mid- or low-rectal adenocarcinoma underwent curative TaTME (n = 40) or R-TME (n = 69). The primary analysis used propensity score match ...[more]
