“…It is a common belief that presacral cysts result from incompletely degenerated primitive embryonic structures during embryonic development, mainly including the tailgut, neural gut, and primitive streak [ 1–5 ]. The tailgut is the most distal part of the embryonic gut, which is located at the tail of the cloacal membrane and degenerated completely around the eighth week of embryonic development [ 6 ]. The neural gut is a structure connecting the amniotic membrane and yolk sac, which only exists for a few days in the embryonic stage [ 7 ].…”

Presacral cysts are cystic or cyst–solid lesions between the sacrum and rectum, almost involving adjacent pelvic floorstructures including sacrococcygeal fascia, rectum, and anal sphincter. Presacral cysts are usually benign, currently believed to arise from aberrant embryogenesis. Presacral cysts are clinically rare and the true incidence is unknown. Surgical resection remains the major treatment for presacral cysts. Unless the cysts are completely resected, recurrence is unavoidable. Recurrent cysts or hard-to-heal sinuses in the sacrococcyx cause patients extreme pain. However, the current knowledge of presacral cysts is insufficient. They are occasionally confused with other diseases such as ovarian cysts and perianal abscesses. Moreover, lack of the correct surgical concept and skills leads to palliative treatment for complex presacral cysts and serious complications such as impairing the function of the anal sphincter or important blood vessels and nerves. The consensus summarizes the opinions and experiences of multidisciplinary experts in presacral cysts and aims to provide clinicians with a more defined concept of the treatment, standardize the surgical approach, and improve the efficacy of presacral cysts.

“…The classification of these cysts appears to overlap with that of rectal duplication cysts. Tailgut cysts are believed to be remnants of the embryological tail duct which disappears at the 8 mm stage (Caropreso et al, 1975) and rectal duplication cysts to be "pinched off' remnants (Weitzel and Breed, 1963). Rectal duplication cysts, and not tailgut cysts, are said to possess well defined muscle layers (Weitzel and Breed, 1963;Hjermstad and Helwig, 1988).…”
