Description
Jun Seong Chung, Han Deok Kwak, and Jae Kyun Ju report five cases of large tumors behind the rectum removed by keyhole surgery, in a 2024 Korean case series. Such tumors are rare, grow in a tight space near the tailbone, and often cause vague symptoms. Open removal through the belly or back can be hard on patients.
Between 2017 and 2020, five patients had the tumors taken out through small belly cuts with a camera's help. Operations ran a median of 130 minutes, tumors measured up to 7.5 centimeters, and patients stayed about eight days in hospital. The growths proved to be benign cysts and a fatty tumor. One patient had a wound infection, and no worse problems appeared in short follow-up. The series supports the keyhole route as a gentle, workable option.
