TY - JOUR AU - Zhang, Niu AU - Gachabayov, Mahir AU - Bergamaschi, Roberto PY - 2018 TI - Transanal treatment of rectal cancer by soft platform JF - Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery; Vol 3 (May 2018): Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - The first approach to the management of rectal cancer was transanal, and it predated the era of laparotomy (1). Over a century passed before a transanal, this time endoscopic approach would be grabbing the headlines (2). This endoscopic approach consisted of a rigid platform, which required a shallow learning curve and a capital budget purchase. UR - https://ales.amegroups.org/article/view/4527
