Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

In this PhD thesis three minimally invasive approaches for total mesorectal excision (TME) are compared: laparoscopic TME, robot-assisted TME and transanal TME (TaTME). Another focus is the implementation of robot-assisted TME and transanal TME (TaTME). The morbidity related to diverting ileostomy creation in TME is addressed as well.
