In the Authors experience with surgical management of sacral chordomas, an unusual complication represented by posterior herniation of the rectum was observed. Weakness of the posterior pelvic floor is at the basis of this complication, which the Authors defined "sacrocele". Posterior herniation of the rectum highly impairs the patient quality of life and may contraindicate radiation therapy. Therefore, the Authors routinely reconstruct the posterior pelvic floor by using a polyglactin mesh following any sacrectomy. This technique is simple and safe. Authors' experience on a limited series is presently reported.
