- Title
To TEM or not to TEM: past, present and probable future perspectives of the transanal endoscopic microsurgery platform.
- Authors
Arezzo, A.
- Abstract
The author reflects on several aspects of the transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) platform that was originally developed for treating villous adenomas, and mentions that the extension of TEM to treat neoplastic lesions in patients unfit for surgery is not accepted as a standard. He comments on the transanal endoscopic microsurgery set from medical equipment maker Karl Storz. An overview of the TransAnal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) is offered.
