Notes Transanal Endoscopic Rectosigmoid and Left Colon Resection Using an Innovative Sterile Sigmoid Access Platform With Integrated Endoscopic Overtube
Introduction: NOTES transanal endoscopic rectosigmoid resection was previously demonstrated using the TEM platform (Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery). However, the length of left colonic mobilization has been limited due to difficulties with instrument reach and tissue manipulation using standard TEM and endoscopic instrumentation. Recently, a novel innovative sterile sigmoid access platform (ISSA, Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) was developed… Continue Reading
