Core Tip

Core Tip: The incidence of retrorectal tumors is low, and no consensus has been reached regarding the most optimal surgical approach. Advantages of laparoscopic approach has been demonstrated in this field. We retrospectively reviewed the patients who underwent laparoscopic excision of retrorectal cystic lesions in our center. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for perioperative complications in laparoscopic surgeries of retrorectal cystic lesions. We also evaluated the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic excision of retrorectal cystic lesions below the S3 Level.
