Abstract
The aim of this study was to demonstrate a laparoscopic technique for the excision of retrorectal tumours. A retrospective review of cases identified from a prospectively maintained database was undertaken. Ten patients (seven female; median age 45 years (range 23-79) underwent successful laparoscopic excision with no significant morbidity or intra-operative mishaps. The procedure was deemed to be safe and we include a video to show the operative technique.
