Patients with smaller, early-stage tumors may be candidates for transanal minimally invasive surgery, known as TAMIS. Rather than making an incision in the abdomen to remove a tumor, the surgeon is able to access the tumor through the anus. Colorectal Surgeon Dr. Jay Singh performed the first Da Vinci single port TAMIS procedure at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. Learn more about colorectal cancer care at http://spr.ly/6047AImYt.
