Abstract
Originally described in 2010 by Attalah et al. (1), TAMIS was designed to allow access to mid‐rectal and more proximal lesions. The continued evolution of robotic surgery including three‐dimensional imaging, motion scaling, tremor elimination, and enhanced dexterity in a confined space introduced a concept of Robotic TAMIS (R‐TAMIS). First successful application of this platform was demonstrated in cadaver models (2, 3), but this technique has also found its place in colorectal surgery (4).
