The tailgut cyst is a rare congenital disease of presacral/retrorectal space. The rarity of the lesion and its anatomical position usually lead to difficulty in diagnosis and surgical management. We present cases of retrorectal tailgut cyst managed using a laparoscopic approach. Both patients had long-term complaints of pain in the anal area, especially when sitting. The patients were referred to our center for masses detected in the retrorectal region in the exams conducted in the external center. Magnetic resonance imaging examinations revealed a benign mass in the retrorectal area in both patients. We therefore preferred a laparoscopic approach. In both of our cases, the pain in the anal area upon sitting was a different clinical presentation than that described in the literature.

Keywords: Retrorectal space, tailgut cyst, laparoscopic approach, the pain in the area which was sitting in both patients

Tailgut kisti retrorektal/presakral mesafede g�r�len nadir konjenital hastal�kt�r. Anatomik pozisyonu ve lezyonun nadir g�r�lmesi genellikle cerrahi y�netim ve tan�da zorlu�a neden olur. Laparoskopik yakla��m� kullanarak retrorektal tailgut kist olgular�n� sunduk. Her iki hasta uzun s�redir ve �zellikle otururken olan anal b�lgede a�r�dan yak�nmaktayd�. Hastalar d�� merkezde yap�lan tetkiklerde, retrorektal b�lgede saptanan kitle nedeni ile merkezimize y�nlendirilmi�. Manyetik rezonans g�r�nt�leme tetkiklerinde, her iki hastada benign �zellikte retrorektal b�lgede kitle mevcuttu. Bu nedenle hastalara laparoskopik yakla��m� tercih ettik. Burada her iki hastada otururken olan anal b�lgedeki a�r�, literat�rden farkl� olarak klinik prezentasyon g�stermekteydi.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Retrorektal mesafe, tailgut kisti, laparoskopik yakla��m, her iki hastada otururken anal b�lgede a�r�
