dc.description.abstractPurpose: retrorectal tumors [RTs] are a rare incidence and recommendations on the ideal surgical approaches are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and follow-up results of patients undergoing excision of RTs at our institution. Methods: a retrospective review was conducted for undergoing surgery for RT between January 2009 and January 2019. Demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, preoperative diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, histopathological results, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative 30-day mortality, 90-day unplanned readmission rate, and long-term outcomes were evaluated. Results: twenty patients with a mean age of 48.3 +/- 14.2 were analyzed. The most common presenting complaint was perineal pain (35.0%). Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography was preferred in 18 and 2 patients, respectively. Tumor localization was below the level of the third sacral vertebrae in 14 patients for whom the posterior surgical approach was used. No postoperative mortality was recorded at the end of follow-up of 53.8 +/- 40 months. Mean length of postoperative hospital stay was 8.6 +/- 9.4 days. Ten percent of the patients had unplanned hospital readmission within 90 days after discharge. Recurrence developed in 1 patient, for whom pathology were reported as chordoma. conclusion: RT should be managed by a multidisciplinary team given the complexity and heterogeneity of these tumors despite the fact that the majority are benign. A good understanding of pelvic anatomy and characterization of lesions through detailed radiological imaging is crucial to optimize surgical planning. Complete surgical resection is key for prolonged disease-free and overall survival of patients diagnosed with RTs.
