    Local full-thickness excision is effective for treating sessile adenomas and early rectal cancer, reducing the incidence of carcinomas.

  • 2

    Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) offers technical advantages over traditional methods, leading to lower recurrence rates in rectal cancer.

  • 3

    The study included patients with benign adenomas unsuitable for endoscopic resection and stage I low-risk rectal cancer for local surgery.

  • 4

    Patients with high-risk rectal cancer were offered adjuvant radiotherapy or salvage surgery based on informed consent and shared decision-making.

  • 5

    Long-term follow-up protocols included regular examinations and imaging to monitor for recurrence and assess oncological outcomes.
