Laparoscopic intersphincteric resection with intraoperative radiotherapy using low-energy X-rays for locally advanced ultra-low rectal cancer

Abstract Background In order to overcome the shortcomings of laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (Lap ISR), an alternative method of delivering intraoperative radiotherapy by Intrabeam X-rays radiotherapy system (XRS) is proposed in this paper. Intrabeam XRS is a device that uses low-energy X-ra...
