| Popis: | The tailgut cyst is a rare congenital disease of presacral/retrorectal space. The rarity of the lesion and its anatomical position usually lead to difficulty in diagnosis and surgical management. We present cases of retrorectal tailgut cyst managed using a laparoscopic approach. Both patients had long-term complaints of pain in the anal area, especially when sitting. The patients were referred to our center for masses detected in the retrorectal region in the exams conducted in the external center. Magnetic resonance imaging examinations revealed a benign mass in the retrorectal area in both patients. We therefore preferred a laparoscopic approach. In both of our cases, the pain in the anal area upon sitting was a different clinical presentation than that described in the literature. |
