| Abstract |
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) was first published by the late Professor Buess in 1983. The procedure initially had a slow acceptance due to its perceived difficulty, the cost of the equipment, and limited indications. However, the widespread adoption of laparoscopic colorectal surgery provided an impetus to increase the penetration of the platform. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the TEM learning curve (LC). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 March 2021.
All research outputs
#2,835,409
of 25,603,577 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#318
of 6,920 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,660
of 321,969 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#5
of 93 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,603,577 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,920 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 321,969 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 93 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
