How Laparoscopic TME is performed
This procedure uses laparoscopy to complete total mesorectal excision; sphincter preservation, transanal assistance, or temporary stoma can be selected as appropriate. Typically, the mesorectal dissection space is separated under pneumoperitoneum, blood supply is ligated, and pelvic autonomic nerves are protected. After resection of the lesion, the specimen is removed through a protected incision, and the intestinal tract is reconstructed with a stapler or a stoma is created. Postoperative monitoring includes bleeding, infection, and anastomosis, promoting bowel function and early activity. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
