Seema Izfar (fellow 2011-12) learning TAMIS. She is using the EndoStitch to close the defect

TAMIS uses laparoscopic instruments, typically 5 mm camera lens, Maryland, and suction-cautery

Seema learning TAMIS with Dr. Atallah. This was her first case

Setting Up for TAMIS

TAMIS: Suturing the port in place helps it stay in position during resection

12-Port and two 5-mm cannulas in a Covidien SILS port. This allows suturing and passing an SH needle without having to 'ski' the needle

TAMIS - this case was a reverse rectal resection (video submission to ASCRS 2012)

TAMIS - the suction-irrigator-cautery is a favorite because it conserves ports
