Published on: October 17, 2025

  • The trans-sacral approach involved an average operation time of 94 minutes and average blood loss of 350 ml.
  • Hospital stay averaged 10.7 days.
  • Malignancy was present in 26.4% of cases, with complications including ureteral damage, sacral wound hernia, and presacral abscess.

Conclusions:

  • Trans-sacral resection of low presacral tumors is a safe and effective procedure.
