| Popis: | Tailgut cyst, also called retrorectal hamartoma, is a rare congenital lesion that arises from the remnants of the postanal primitive gut and is usually located anterior to the sacrum and posterior to the rectum. It is usually asymptomatic or demonstrates mass effects, and preoperatively is frequently misdiagnosed as adnexal tumor. Treatment is complete surgical resection. The English-language literature contains only limited reports of the laparoendoscopic approach to retrorectal cystic tumor and tailgut cyst. Herein, we report our experience with successful laparoscopic management of a tailgut cyst, discuss the laparoscopic resection technique, and present a review of the literature. |
