Abstract
The transanal endoscopic operation (TEO) is a minimal access surgical procedure for the removal of benign and early malignant rectal tumours (Nieuwenhuis et al 2009). This surgery involves specialist equipment, set up and positioning by the perioperative team. We report on and evaluate the first ever TEO course designed specifically for theatre practitioners.
