Published: September 2009

Objective: To explore the operation indication and safety of presacral tumor.

Methods: Clinical data of 36 patients with presacral tumor from November 1990 to May 2006 treated in our hospital, in whom 23 patients underwent trans-sacral operation, were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: The operation time was from 43 to 210 min (average 94 min). The volume of blood loss was from 30 to 2000 ml (average 350 ml). Hospital stay was from 8 to 16 days (average 10.7 days). There were 13 different pathology types of tumors in the 36 patients including 26.4% of malignancy. Complications of trans-sacral operation included 1 case of ureteral damage, 1 case of sacral wound hernia, 1 case of presacral abscess who was healed by sigmoid stoma and wound drainage.

Conclusion: Trans-sacral resection of low presacral tumor is safe and effective with less trauma, less bleeding and quick recovery.

This study aims to describe our institutional approach to LRNBT surveillance following surgical resection or nonoperative management. We hypothesize that length of surveillance can be reduced due to low recurrence risk.
