Key Words Rectal cancer; Watchful waiting; Transanal minimal invasive surgery; Transanal total mesorectal excision
Core Tip Over the last decade several additional surgical options have become available in the management of rectal cancer. These extend from non-surgical management with chemoradiation only, local excision for selected cases of early rectal cancer and the standard total mesorectal excision but now by a transanal approach. Although long-term outcome studies are ongoing, it is the duty of the multidisciplinary team treating these patients to be familiar with these options, as they may be of benefit to selected patients with this disease.
