Low Sacral Resection Of Sacrococcygeal Chordoma Via Posterior Approach – Good Post-Operative Neurological Outcome With Bilateral Preservation Of S3 Nerve Roots

Abstract

We report a 54-year-old man who underwent excision of sacrococcygeal chordoma via a posterior approach, ideal for low sacral lesions as preservation of pelvic integrity can be maintained. This case emphasises the importance of preserving sacral nerve roots S3 and above if normal post-operative sphincter function is to be maintained.
