Abstract
Background
Retrorectal cysts make up a small but challenging group of pelvic masses, especially if they extend high into the pelvis. We present a case of successful robotic removal of a large retrorectal cyst.
Methods
Video presentation of a robotic excision of a retrorectal mass.
Results
We present a case of robotic removal of a large retrorectal mass extending up to the S3 vertebra.
Discussion
Robotic approach is a very useful tool for successful removal of large pelvic masses that cannot be removed by traditional posterior or trans perineal approach.
