Preferred Label : Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery;
NCIt synonyms : TEMS; TEM;
NCIt definition : A minimally invasive endoluminal surgical approach for local excision of rectal lesions
that cannot be directly visualized using high-definition magnification. This technique
offers the advantages of superior visualization of the lesion and greater access to
proximal lesions, with lower margin positivity and specimen fragmentation and lower
long-term recurrence rates over traditional transanal excision.;
