Distension of the rectum following transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) increases rectal intra-luminal pressure and may promote pelvic sepsis by contaminating the rectal defect. We describe the first use of a Heald anal stent to decompress the rectum following TEMS. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) is an increasingly popular method of resecting rectal neoplasms with minimal morbidity and mortality. Following excision of the lesion, the defect in the rectal wall is usually repaired by a continuous suture. However there is no evidence to suggest defect closure is superior to leaving this to heal by secondary intention. Distension of the rectum post-operatively increases rectal intra-luminal pressure and may promote pelvic sepsis by contaminating the rectal defect.

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) provides a minimally invasive alternative to radical surgery for excision of benign and malignant rectal tumors. TEM aims to provide an alternative to conventional abdominal surgery (low anterior resection or abdominoperineal amputations), which carries not inconsiderable morbidity and mortality. Based on review of the literature and in the authors experience, this review present the method and indications for TEM.

The use of organ-preserving interventions remains the most important direction in improving of surgical treatment of patients with rectal cancer. One of the promising options for its implementation is the TEM (transanal endoscopic microsurgery) technique, which allows local removal of rectal neoplasms by its full-wall resection. However, indications for this intervention are still a matter of debate. The presented clinical case demonstrates the positive potential of the TEM technique, which consists of reducing surgical trauma without violating the basic oncological principles.
