A rare observation of resection of giant sacrococcygeal teratoma complicated by massive bleeding in a newborn child

Aim - is to analyze and describe the experience of surgical treatment of giant sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) complicated by massive bleeding in a newborn child. Clinical case. A rare clinical observation of resection of giant sacrococcygeal teratoma complicated by massive bleeding in a newborn child is presented. Conclusions. In the presence of negative prognostic factors associated with the risk of hemodynamic and hemorrhagic complications, it is advisable to consider the possibility of surgical treatment in the early neonatal period to prevent fatal consequences. A 2-stage surgical treatment tactic for life-threatening massive bleeding is described, which allowed to eliminate a formidable complication, stabilize the child's condition, ensure effective preoperative preparation and perform subsequent radical resection of the tumor with a good postoperative result. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting studies.
