Many surgeons across the country have begun excising rectal lesions using these platforms; however, the perioperative decision-making surrounding these excisions can be quite variable. To facilitate care between providers, it would be helpful to standardize the way TES is reported. Synoptic operative reports have previously been established as an effective and efficient communication tool. For patients with rectal cancer, synoptic reports are required for pathology, radiology and major oncologic resections, but never previously for TES. We used a Delphi process including 15 stakeholders from across Canada to develop a TES synoptic report. Participants submitted items according to 6 categories: team characteristics, patient demographics, preoperative work-up, lesion characteristics, procedure details and postoperative details. Twenty-six surgeon-entered and 41 auto-populated items reached final inclusion. This will allow generation of a synoptic reporting template to improve perioperative communication for these patients.
