Abstract

Objective: Retrorectal tumors (presacral, precoccyxgeal) are rare, and remain a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this study was to describe the surgical experience of 1 hospital with retrorectal tumors.Methods: Twelve patients admitted to the Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Training and Research Hospital/Istanbul Department of General Surgery between January 2012 and December 2016 were included in our study. Medical records, radiology results, pathology reports, and surgical techniques were analyzed retrospectively.Results: Of the 12 patients evaluated, 10 were female and 2 were male. The mean age was 45 years (range: 31-65 years). Eight patients had masses of a congenital origin, 3 patients had masses of neurogenic origin, and 1 had an angiomyxomatous tumor. Both an anterior and posterior surgical approach were used.Conclusion: Complete removal of the tumor and preservation of neurological function remain major aspects of successful treatment. To achieve the best results, a multidisciplinary approach and correct planning are important
