Objective To summarize the functional outcomes of transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME).Method The literatures about functional outcomes and existing problems secondary to TaTME in China and abroad were collected to make a review.Results Neither the TaTME or the laparoscopic TME (LTME) had few serious impact on the quality of life of patients. At present, only a few studies were involved in the postoperative sexual function, and no definite conclusion could be drawn. From the current data only, the TaTME had few serious impact on the sexual function and it didn’t show some advantages as compared with the LTME. The urinary and defecation functions showed no obvious differences between the TaTME and the LTME, which of the patients after the TaTME might be impaired to some extent. The defecation disorders mainly occurred in 1—6 months after the TaTME, but it would recover to a certain extent as time went on.Conclusions Although TaTME has more advantages in protecting pelvic autonomic nerves, there is no obvious difference in postoperative organ function as compared with LTME surgery at present. Multi-center, large sample size, and long-term follow-up studies are still needed to validate long-term results.
