Unlike traditional open surgery, TEM utilizes special equipment to remove colorectal tumors through the rectum. Guided by a video monitor, the surgeon navigates a scope – a thin, flexible instrument equipped with a three-dimensional camera and light at its tip – up through the anal canal to the tumor. This magnifying camera offers significantly improved visualization for the surgeon compared to traditional methods.
TEM does not require any surgical incisions; it is performed through the rectum with specially designed microsurgical instruments that can remove lesions high inside the rectum. Traditionally, these lesions were accessible only with major abdominal surgery.
With TEM, colorectal surgeons have a longer reach and better visibility into the rectum. Benefits to the patient include:
- No abdominal incision
- Less bleeding
- Less risk of infection and complications
- Less risk of bowel obstructions after surgery
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and return to normal activities
