Abstract
Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) is an alternative treatment in T 1 N 0 and in selected T 2 -T 3 N 0 rectal cancer after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (nRCT). The N parameter may remain undefined after TEM. Node sampling might increase indication to local excision and correct immediate recourse to radical surgery. Aim is to evaluate the role of a modified sentinel lymph node technique that the authors named “Fluorescence-Guided Mesorectal Lymph-Node Sampl…
