Benign rectal tumours represent a frequently occurring condition that often requires surgical treatment. In the literature, Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) has claimed a position as the gold standard for this kind of transanal surgery. In this study, we evaluate the results in a series of 34 patients who underwent a transanal resection after an extensive pre-operative work-up, using the Fansler proctoscope. Although the level of evidence in retrospective studies may have its limitations, our results seem to meet those of TEM in the literature. Also, the Fansler proctoscope provides us with a much more economical and easier to learn method. We conclude that the Fansler proctoscope approach can be a valuable alternative to TEM in the treatment of benign rectal tumours.

A hinged anoscope for insertion of rectal catheters is presented. Catheters attached to or integrally part of an external monitoring device or collecting system can be inserted through this endoscope. The endoscope can be removed without disconnecting the catheter from the external device.

Sessile adenomas are predominantly localized in the rectum and lower sigma. Surgical removal is indicated but often implies an invasive surgical procedure. Using conventional transanal surgical techniques, only the lower rectum can be reached and there are high rates of recurrence. The new technique combines an endoscopic view of the rectum under gas insufflation via a stereoscopic telescope with conventional surgical preparation and suturing. Adenomas can be excised using the mucosectomy technique or full-thickness-excision, whereas carcinomas should be excised using full-thickness excision with a sufficient border of healthy mucosa. In carcinomas of the sacral cavity, we remove the retrorectal fat up to the fascia of Waldeyer, including the regional lymph nodes. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is the most economical and tissue-saving surgical technique for the removal of rectal adenomas and early rectal carcinomas.

Review
A new era has emerged in rectal cancer surgery--transanal total mesorectal excision (TME). Various platforms have been used to facilitate this novel approach, including transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) and transanal endoscopic microsurgery. We have previously reported the use of TAMIS-TME. This is a report of the first human case of robotic-assisted transanal surgery for TME.
