Trans-anal Endoscopic Microsurgery Course (TEM)
This three-day TEM course is a unique combination of a practical hands on course aimed at providing delegates with the technical skills to perform TEM surgery and observed real-time operating in the Edinburgh Colorectal Unit. The assembled faculty includes consultants with a vast experience in rectal and TEM surgery supported by Frau Mailaender, specialist tutor for TEM from the University of Tuebungen.
We will discuss and impart the skills required to treat both early rectal cancer and large rectal adenomas by a minimally invasive approach.
