- Abstract
We appreciate the invitation to respond to comments from Lacy I et al i . on our Leading Article reporting the moratorium on transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for rectal cancer in Norway. The Leading Article is a "letter of warning" after a number of serious and unexpected events related to the TaTME approach, and is not intended as any kind of general judgement of the procedure. However, the reported median value includes all patients with LR, thus representing a subgroup with 100 per cent LR, which allows the median value to be applied as a measure of the central tendency of this variable.
