Abstract
Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is considered a standard of care in rectal cancers. Its advantage is that it is organ preserving. Its main role is in early-stage cancers limited to the rectum (T1N0M0). Regular follow-up with computed tomography scan imaging is required. When done correctly in the right patients, the recurrence rate of rectal cancer is less than 3%. TAMIS can also be used as a salvage operation in symptomatic high-risk patients who are unable to undergo or are unfit for transabdominal resection.
