Letter to the editor on #taTME pdf file ----> bjssjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bj… Dr Feza Remzi Joshua R Karas MD Inna Tulina Petr Tsarkov Salomone Di Saverio MD PhD FACS FRCS (Eng) Gustavo Rossi MD PhD Rahila Essani MD FACS FASCRS Abe Fingerhut @d_hahnd Debby Keller, MD Steven D Wexner MD, PhD Antonio de Lacy Sergio Larach @sbiondo60 Antonino Spinelli Sam Atallah, MD

I wonder without publishing our actual letter why Annals of Surgery selectively & only publishes the response to our letter on a topic that is so controversial. THIS IS SIMPLY WRONG. Response to Comment on “Local Recurrence After TaTME for Rectal Cancer” insights.ovid.com/pubmed?pmid=32…

#MedTwitter & the establishment of academia , thoughts on this. Isn’t this another way “ close networks “ taking over voice of concerned surgeons on behalf for our patients.
