Abstract

The transanal approach to performing total mesorectal excision (TME) for both rectal cancer and inflammatory IBD has grown significantly over the last decade. In spite of the known relatively commoner complications associated with this approach to the rectum, the increase in surgical volume allows for evaluation and stratification of less frequent complications such as embolism. We present a review article on the very limited studies available on the incidence of PAE occurring during taTME.
