- Abstract
En bloc removal of the coccyx during sacrococcygeal teratoma resection is necessary to decrease the risk of recurrence. However, variable anatomy often makes the border between the coccyx and sacrum difficult to identify. We describe the use of intraoperative lateral pelvic X-ray to localize this border and ensure complete coccygectomy.
