An alternative technique of Cesarean section to immediate resection (CSIR) for managing high-risk sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) was reported. The study found that this method can effectively reduce the risk of ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedures and achieve a 100% survival rate for patients.
Introduction: Ex-utero intrapartum treatment has been established as an option for fetal and perinatal surgeons to deliver patients with sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) which are causing significant fetal distress and possible in-utero fetal demise. However, ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedures carry significant maternal risk and morbidity. Herein, we report an alternative technique of Cesarean section to immediate resection (CSIR) for managing high-risk SCTs. Methods: A retrospective institutional review board-approved review was performed on all SCTs evaluated at our fetal center from May 2014 to September 2020. Demographics; prenatal imaging characteristics; prenatal interventions; and postnatal surgery data including operative time, estimated blood loss, pathology, and outcomes were collected. Outcomes of interest included surveillance serum alpha-fetoprotein levels, imaging surveillance, developmental milestones, and the presence or absence of constipation or fecal incontinence. Results: A total of 20 patients with prenatal diagnosis of SCT were evaluated. Mothers who transferred their care to another institution after diagnosis were excluded from this study. Twelve neonates underwent standard postnatal resection. Three neonates underwent emergent CSIR for high output cardiac failure, fetal anemia, or concerns for in-ut ero hemorrhagic rupture. The median (interquartile range) operative time was 231.5 (113) minutes for the standard operative group versus 156 min in the CSIR group. We present three patients who underwent immediate resection after emergent Cesarean section. We report 100% survival for the three consecutive cases.
