- Abstract
This article discusses the use of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for the repair of colorectal anastomotic leaks, a complication that can occur after rectal cancer surgery. The video vignette demonstrates a novel technique called robotic TAMIS (r-TAMIS), which combines the benefits of a transluminal approach with the dexterity of robotic instrumentation. The procedure involves inserting a single-incision port into the anal canal and using robotic instruments to repair the anastomotic defect. This minimally invasive approach reduces the risks associated with major abdominal surgery. The authors suggest that surgeons with experience in this technique should consider r-TAMIS for the management of anastomotic leaks.
