Abstract
The York-Mason approach to the rectum with resection of the coccyx provides an excellent exposure for the treatment of large villous adenomas and low-risk rectal cancers. Morbidity related to this operation primarily arises as local infection (septic pelvis, fistulation), chronic coccygeal pain, and fecal incontinence. This is the first report to describe a pelvic floor herniation two years after a York-Mason approach to the rectum.
