Summary

This study tests a new robotic system (Intilume) for removing early-stage rectal tumors through the body's natural openings, avoiding incisions. Ten adults with non-cancerous or early cancerous growths in the rectum will be treated. The goal is to see if the robot makes the procedure safer, easier, and more effective than current tools.
