    Transperineal minimally invasive abdominoperineal excision (TpAPE) aims to improve outcomes for locally advanced low rectal cancer.

  • 2

    TpAPE was evaluated for feasibility, intraoperative complications, histopathological outcomes, and postoperative morbidity.

  • 3

    The study involved a multicenter cohort from five centers across four countries, focusing on various APE techniques.

  • 4

    Previous APE techniques showed higher rates of circumferential resection margin involvement compared to anterior resections.

    The TpAPE technique may reduce complications associated with traditional APE while maintaining oncological safety.
