title: [Use of the method of transcanal endoscopic microsurgery in treatment of tumors of the rectum].
abstract: The method of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is in use now for treatment of benign tumors of the rectum, and in some cases for early forms of cancer of the same localization, equally with traditional surgical methods such as transanal and endoscopic dissection. Immediate and long-term results of treatment of three groups of patients operated on by the methods in question were compared to establish the effectiveness of the methods. It was shown that TEM was more precise, had less number of intra- and postoperative complications and considerably rarer recurrences.
