Abstract
The presacral, or pararectal, space is a potential site for the formation of various cysts and tumors, since it contains a variety of embryonic tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging is the principal method for the diagnosis of presacral cysts, and endoscopic ultrasonography is an auxiliary method. These masses are subject to surgical removal, even in cases of asymptomatic course. The paper presents the successful experience of treating 3 patients using various surgical approaches and describes their advantages and disadvantages.
