Laparoscopic Resection Combined with a Transsacral Approach for a Recurrent Tailgut Cyst with a Refractory Fistula.
Acta medica Okayama(2024)
Abstract
Tailgut cyst is a rare cystic disease of the anterior sacral surface and the remains of an embryonic tail gut. Tailgut cysts have a potential for malignancy, and complete resection with an adequate surgical margin is necessary. Even if incomplete resection does not result in recurrence of malignant disease, there is a risk of local infection leading to refractory fistulas. The optimal treatment for such refractory recurrent lesions has not been reported. We describe a case in which the combination of laparoscopic and transsacral approaches was effective for resecting a recurrent refractory fistula after incomplete resection of a tail gut cyst.
