Abstract

Retrorectal cystic hamartoma is a rare congenital tumoroid mass, the cause of which is abnormal embryo development. Its diagnostic techniques are transrectal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography. Resection of cystic hamartomas is a conventional surgical intervention through different accesses: anterior (abdominal), posterior (sacrococcygeal, perineal, or perianal, transanal), and combined. The paper describes 2 clinical cases. One of them is retroperitoneal pararectal teratoma of the small pelvis, which was removed via pararectal approach. Surgery was performed via laparoscopic access in two other cases: neurofibroma of the retroperitoneal space with plexiform structures and cystic degeneration, as well as retrorectal cystic hаmartoma. The diagnosis was verified by MRI and histology in all cases. Conclusion. The given data agree with the data available in the literature on the advisability of surgical treatment through different approaches.
