Aim: The benefits and short-term outcomes of transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) for rectal cancer have been demonstrated previously, but questions remain regarding the oncologic outcomes following this challenging procedure. The purpose of this study was to analyze the oncologic outcomes following taTME at high-volume centers in the USA.
Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective observational study of 8 tertiary care centers.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied patients with a severe type of Crohn's disease and looked at two different times for surgery: early (within 7 days) and delayed (after 7 days).
- They found that 112 out of 474 patients had serious issues, like abscesses, before surgery, with many needing a longer waiting period (median of 23 days) for treatment.
- The study showed no big differences in surgery methods or recovery times between the two groups, with both having similar hospital stays after surgery.
