TAMIS for Recurrent Cancer of the High Rectum (25 cm from the Anal Verge) in a Patient with Serious Associated Disorders (Rescue Surgery)

INTRODUCTION Transanal Minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is indicated for benign lesions of the rectum distant up to 5 cm and not exceeding more than 1/3 of the rectal circumference; for early stage malignancies confined to the submucosa (T1 sm1 according to the Kikuchi classification); for cancers...
