510 Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery Assisted Single Incision Low Anterior Resection With Total Mesorectal Excision (Tamis Assisted LAR Tme) in a Cadaver Model

Enucleation is a technique which can be applied to benign and low grade lesions of the liver such as select neuroendocrine tumors (NET), cysts, hemangiomas and focal nodular hyperplasia. The benefits of enucleation include the preservation of maximal hepatic parenchyma, as well as the low likelihood that underlying vascular or biliary structures will be compromised. A laparoscopic approach to enucleation not only offers the benefits of minimal access surgery, but also allows simultaneous access to multiple regions of the abdomen. This may be ideal for managing certain scenarios such as the patient with distal pancreatic NET and synchronous liver metastases. Illustrative cases are shown.
