ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Frameless stereotaxy is an established method for real-time image-guided surgical navigation in neurological surgery. Though this is capable of providing sub-millimeter accuracy, it has not been used by other surgical specialists. METHODS AND PROCEDURE A patient with locally advanced, distal rectal cancer and tumor abutting the prostate was selected for transanal TME using TAMIS, with intra-operative CT-guided navigation to ensure an R0 resection.RESULTS:
The use of stereotactic TAMIS-TME was successfully performed with an accuracy of ±4 mm. The surgical specimen revealed an R0 resection, and this new approach aided in achieving adequate resection margins.CONCLUSION:
This is the first report of the use of frameless stereotactic navigation beyond the scope of neurosurgery. Stereotactic navigation for transanal total mesorectal excision is shown to be feasible. Stereotactic navigation may potentially be applied toward other pelvic and fixed abdominal organs, thereby opening the gateway for a broader use by the general surgeon.
