Anterior Sacral Meningocele: A New Classification and Treatment Using the Dorsal Transsacral Approach

Conclusion. Aim of surgical treatment is to obliterate the communication between the subarachnoid space and herniated sac, detether the spinal cord, and resect the congenital tumor. The new classification helps to recognize the relationship between the meningocele and sacral nerve roots, and subsequently adopt different surgical strategies. We consider the dorsal transsacral approach relatively feasible, safe, and with lower complication. Level of Evidence: 4
