Excision of a rectal duplication cyst in proximity to the glomus coccygeum - An unusual cause of intraoperative bleeding: A case report
Rectal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that require careful excision due to their proximity to the glomus coccygeum. Although the glomus coccygeum is infrequently encountered, it is important for surgeons to be familiar with this anatomical structure to minimize the risk of unexpected bleeding.
