Anal Cancer | Cancer of Anal - Causes, Symptoms, Staging, Treatment, Prognosis & Prevention
Cancer of the anus is rare however its incidence is increasing especially among the HIV positive patients and it is caused by human papilloma (HPV) virus.

While working on the intra-abdominal organs, endoscopes inserted through the AirSeal are not smudged first and provide a clear view. Moreover, when excising tissue, the valve-free construction of the device allows samples to pass through without being tugged and torn.

The device continuously clears smoke caused by cauterization, keeping the internal volume clear for easy visualization. It can be used for both transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) and transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) procedures.

The hope is that having a consistent seal and clear visualization will speed up these procedures and allow surgeons to consistently remove entire polyps.
