Post-TNT magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed significant tumour regression and flexible sigmoidoscopy showed stricture around 11 cm from the anal verge.

Several publications have shown that partial excision of the mesorectum, also called tumour-specific mesorectal excision (TSME), with the division of mesorectum 5 cm below the tumour could be a reasonable approach although total mesorectal excision (TME) is still considered the gold standard for all rectal cancer in many studies. A recent systematic review on distal mesorectal spread and PME showed that for partial mesorectal excision, substantial overtreatment is present if a distal margin of more than 5 cm is routinely utilized; in addition, PME has good oncological results and leads to the best-fitted functional results possible for the patient's condition.<span>1</span>, <span>2</span> Regarding the morbidity and oncological outcomes after PME, Kanso et al. showed that PME can be performed safely, with a low risk of definitive stoma and local recurrence and the survival rate that was observed, indicates that the prognosis is not altered compared with TME in the treatment of upper and some middle rectal tumour.<span><sup>3</sup></span> Another study evaluating the oncological outcomes of PME in patients with upper and middle rectal cancer showed that PME and shorter resection margins do not jeopardize the oncological outcomes.<span><sup>4</sup></span> Robotic colorectal surgery has gained popularity in the last few years as it overcomes most of the limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery, especially when working in a confined, narrow pelvis.

All these features help the colorectal surgeon complete the rectal surgery more safely and effectively, and like any surgical procedure, standardization of the technique can lead to a shorter learning curve and better outcomes.
