Question
- What is the clinical effectiveness of transanal total mesorectal excision for adults with rectal cancer?
- What is the cost-effectiveness of transanal total mesorectal excision for adults with rectal cancer?
Key Message
Transanal total mesorectal excision may result in lower rates of conversion to open procedure and a better circumferential resection margin compared with laparoscopic total mesorectal excision in adults with rectal cancer.
Transanal total mesorectal excision may be comparable to laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for cancer recurrence, survival, death, and short-term safety outcomes in adults with rectal cancer.
Total mesorectal excision may be more cost-effective than laparoscopic and open total mesorectal excision in adults with rectal cancer, but this is uncertain.
