Although the vestigial retrorectal cysts are still rare, the number of the observed ones is destined to increase, as methods by imaging become routinely used in the clinical practice. Once diagnosed, the removal of retrorectal lesions should be mandatory. Therefore, by reporting three clinical cases, the Authors propose notes of technique above the abdominal approach used for the surgical treatment of these retrorectal congenital neoformations. In their experience, the anterior route had no postoperative complications, short stay, no neurological consequences and good long-term results.
