Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) has been used effectively to treat large rectal polyps and early rectal malignancy for more than 20 years in Europe. Until recently, only a few specialized centers offered TEM in the United States, where it is now gaining popularity. TEM is unique when compared with laparoscopy and other minimally invasive techniques that incorporate less invasive methods of performing old operations. Regional centers treating large volumes of rectal cancer are embracing TEM with early, encouraging results.
