Description
Babak Mirminachi and five co-authors report a 2026 case of a rectal tumor removed through a scope, sparing open surgery. The tumor was a stromal growth in the gut wall, found during a check in a 53-year-old man. It sat just above the dentate line, a tight spot where wide surgery costs dear.
Scans and a sample confirmed a low-grade tumor rooted in the muscle layer. The scope team cut between the muscle layers and lifted the tumor out whole, its capsule unbroken. The gap was closed with an endoscopic tool. The case shows how deep scope work can clear select tumors while saving anatomy.
