Mesenteric Resection in Rectal Cancer

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

A complete mesorectal resection (total mesorectal excision, TME) is essential for the curative resection of locally advanced rectal cancer. Corollaries to TME include obtaining oncologically acceptable distal and circumferential tumor-free margins. Strict adherence to these intra-operative surgical tenets within the context of multidisciplinary care help ensure optimal outcomes.
