Abstract
Traditional surgery has been used side by side with minimally invasive surgical techniques, which have been widely utilized in the field of benign diseases, as is demonstrated by the use of laparoscopy in cholecystectomy, appendectomy, fundoplication, hernioplasty, splenectomy and adrenalectomy etc. Such procedures are safe and have in common favorable postoperative course with minimal stress for the patient, as demonstrated by several reports (1–5). For this reason, also in malignant diseases, the concept of minimally invasive surgery that utilizes a laparoscopic or transanal endoluminal technique has been introduced. These techniques, associated with preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy, could guarantee the same oncological radicality, with minimal surgical stress for the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate short and long-term results in 169 patients with rectal cancer, who underwent radiotherapy and laparoscopie surgery, or trans-anal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).
