Researcher at Hyogo College of Medicine Releases New Study Findings on Pelvic Exenteration (Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach to Total Pelvic Exenteration).

A new study conducted by researchers at Hyogo College of Medicine in Japan explores the use of a transanal minimally invasive surgical approach to total pelvic exenteration, a complex surgical procedure for patients with advanced rectal cancer. The study describes the surgical technique, which involves a two-team approach using laparoscopic transabdominal surgery and transanal minimally invasive surgery. The researchers found that this approach provided direct visualization of the tumor from the anal side and allowed for clear views of deep pelvic structures. The study reports positive outcomes with no mortalities or severe complications. [Extracted from the article]
