Transanal minimally invasive surgery for resection of retrorectal cyst

Abstract

Tailgut cysts are benign retrorectal embryological remnants, often found incidentally or when evaluating a patient for pelvic symptoms. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) offers patients a low morbidity surgical approach for resection of a variety of low rectal lesions. This is a case report of resection of a tailgut cyst using TAMIS, including images and description of the steps of the procedure.
