Dr. Atallah on developing ‘TAMIS'
"TAMIS is a revolutionary approach to the removal of rectal tumors and polyps that I co-developed in 2009. It has quickly caught on -- this technique is now being performed at top institutions worldwide. More importantly, it has lead to the next-step in avanced rectal cancer surgery, whereby tumors of the rectum can be removed with less scars, better outcomes, and probably with fewer patients winding up with a permanent ostomy. This is GREAT news for patients battling this curable disease!
Dr. Atallah (right) performs the world’s first TAMIS on June 30, 2009, giving rise to a new era in rectal cancer surgery.
TAMIS was first performed in 2009 and first reported in the scientific literature by Atallah et al. in 2010. It has changed how rectal surgery is now performed worldwide — get the Johns Hopkins take on TAMIS
