The multidisciplinary modern clinic Top Ihilov offers its patients a unique surgical intervention method for colorectal and rectal cancer. This gentle surgical approach eliminates the need for colostomy.
The traditional laparotomy operation involves a large incision in the anterior abdominal wall, tumour removal, and colostomy creation. Patients find this operation difficult to endure, requiring a long rehabilitation period and a subsequent surgical intervention to close the colostomy. Naturally, laparotomy can be necessary, but in some cases, endoscopic surgical assistance is sufficient.
The unique and effective method of transanal endoscopic microsurgery involves tumour removal through the anal opening. TEM is performed using a special rectoscope under visual control.
Advantages of Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery:
- minimally invasive;
- precise localisation of the tumour;
- minimal recovery period (a few hours);
- short rehabilitation period (about a day);
- no need for colostomy;
- no side effects.
At the Top Ihilov clinic, these operations are performed by the country's best surgeons, professors, and heads of specialized departments.
