According to literature source of study performed from february 2010 to june 2012, previous publications have suggested that endoscopic transanal proctectomy (etap) is a promising technique and may be an alternative to conventional low anterior resection for rectal cancer.The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of etap, using port devices.Fifty-six consecutive patients (41 men) underwent etap.The port was used in 11 cases; however, complications were not reported by a single-port device.The overall post-operative complication rate was 26% (14/56).Three patients developed a clinical anastomotic leakage that did not require reoperation.Three additional patients were diagnosed with pelvic sepsis without evidence of anastomotic leak (2 of them required drainage under ct scan), 5 patients experienced transient urinary disorders, 2 patients required red blood cell transfusion during the postoperative course, and a (b)(6)-year-old woman suffered from a cerebral infarction with a favorable outcome.The median hospital stay was 10 days.Article: jean-jacques tuech, 2015, annals of surgery volume 261, number 2.
