Both the Swenson and the Soave procedures have been adapted as transanal approaches. Our purpose is to compare the outcomes and complications between transanal Swenson and Soave procedures.This clinical analysis involved a retrospective series of 148 pediatric patients with HD from Dec, 2001, to Dec, 2015. Perioperative/operative characteristics, postoperative complications, and outcomes betwee...

BACKGROUND Transanal endoscopic operation (TEO) may be the technique of choice for the treatment of rectal lesions, both benign and selected malignant lesions, with similar survival rates to conventional surgery but with lower morbidity. METHODS In this article we present a series of 70 patients operated on with this procedure (TEO) in our center. The indications were benign rectal lesions an...

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery may be considered medically necessary for treatment of clinical T1 rectal adenocarcinomas than cannot be removed using other means of local excision and that meet all of the following criteria:  Located in the middle or upper part of the rectum  Well or moderately differentiated (G1 or G2)  Without lymphadenopathy or microscopic angiolymphatic invasion  Les...

The experience of complications treatment after surgery for Hirschsprung’s disease using posterior sagittal transanal approach is presented. It allows to obtain a sufficient overview the main anatomical structures small pelvis in “frozen pelvis” situation, helping avoid their damage at scar tissue changes.

Indications for transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) have evolved since surgery for incipient rectal tumours. The possibility of access via TEM has now been extended to other rectal and pelvic diseases, while standard surgical treatment is performed through the abdomen by laparotomy or laparoscopy. The evolution of laparoscopy has resulted in natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (...
