Clinical Trial: Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision vs Robotic Total Mesorectal Excision

U.S., June 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07651553) titled 'Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision vs Robotic Total Mesorectal Excision' on May 24.

Brief Summary: TME remains standard treatment for rectal cancer. Both Robotic TME and taTME are innovative surgical techniques with potential advantages in low rectal cancer. To date, no clinical studies have directly compared the conversion and complication rates between taTME and RTME in this population. Therefore, the investigators propose to conduct a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical trial comparing taTME with RTME for low rectal cancer, aiming to provide high-level evidence for surgical decision-making and benefit more pati...
