Short- and intermediate-term surgical outcomes were assessed following a combined laparoscopic and sacral approach. The diagnosis was based on clinical examination, elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein levels, and preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging classification. The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of this surgical method, emphasizing feasibility and potential benefits for treating presacral teratomas of varying complexity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The age of patients ranged from 8 days to 1.5 years, with a mean age of 115.93 \u00b1 192.3 days. The average duration of surgery was 2.7 h (range: 2\u20133.15 h), with no intraoperative bleeding. Postoperative recovery was smooth; 71.43% of patients resumed a full diet within 3 days, while the remaining patients did so within 4 days. One patient experienced mild skin erythema, managed conservatively, and two patients had perineal wound separation, resolved with topical treatment. The median hospital stay was 7 days (range: 5\u201378 days). No postoperative urinary or stool incontinence was observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n
