Benign teratomas of the sacrococcygeal region may recur after surgery, but it is not absolute. Patients with sacrococcygeal benign teratomas who have their tailbone removed during surgery have a lower rate of recurrence after surgery. If the tailbone is not removed during surgery, some patients may have tumor cells on the tailbone, in which case the condition is prone to recurrence after surgery. Generally patients have a higher chance of recurrence within three years after surgery. It is recommended that patients with benign teratomas of the sacrococcygeal region undergo surgery as early as possible. When the teratoma is in a benign state, the success rate of the surgery is higher, and the chance of recurrence after the surgery is smaller. If the teratoma becomes malignant after delay, it is difficult to cure the disease by surgical excision. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and other treatments may be necessary. Once diagnosed with a benign teratoma of the sacrococcygeal region, patients are advised to go to the hospital in time for regular treatment, and it is recommended that the coccyx be removed as well to reduce the chance of recurrence after surgery.
