Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the outcomes of Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) in treating middle and lower rectal cancer at a single institution from 1990 to 1998, focusing on its effectiveness and safety.
- A total of 337 patients were analyzed, with 96% undergoing rectal resections, and findings showed a 35% postoperative morbidity rate, with 4% mortality and 8.6% local recurrence.
- The results suggest that TME is a feasible procedure with a nearly 70% 5-year survival rate, highlighting its potential as a standard treatment for these types of cancers.
