OBJECTIVE: Six cases of management of rectal strictures by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) are described. METHOD: Patients are placed in the lithotomy - Trendelenburg position and the stricture is resected from 4-8 o'clock through the entire thickness of the fibrosis. The upper resection edge is mobilized including all layers of the rectal wall and the defect is sutured along the circumference. RESULTS: Satisfactory anatomical and functional long-term results were obtained in 5 of 6 patients. CONCLUSION: TEM resection of benign strictures is feasible in some patients and should be tested in a randomized study against known procedures. |
