Trans-Anal Total Mesorectal Excision (taTME)
|
|
Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (taTME) has become one of the most promising technical advancement in the surgical treatment of rectal cancer. However, taTME requires specific technical expertise, as it is often difficult to identify the correct dissection plane potentially resulting in bleeding, autonomic nerve injury and urethral injury. Because of these technical challenges, hands-on laboratory training is imperative to successful outcomes. Using a well explored and published technique, this course is designed to demonstrate specific visual features encountered during taTME surgery and to guide the surgeon to perform the dissection in the correct plane facilitating a safe and accurate taTME surgery.
Richard Wolf is proud to offer a new series of workshops on transanal endoscopic surgery. The two-day workshop format combines didactic and hands-on training (on cadaveric models) under the guidance of Dr. Mark Whiteford and Dr. Carl J. Brown.
