[Delivery planning and interdisciplinary management of large coccygeal teratomas].
Prenatal sonographic screening and a growing experience of examiners with regard to possible congenital malformations such as large coccygeal teratomas have induced the request for an early interdisciplinary consultation between obstetrician, human geneticist, paediatric surgeon, neonatologist and psychologist. It should aim at a careful information and counselling of the parents with regard to the mode of delivery and possibilities of operative management. The prerequisites for far sighted planning and performance of delivery are demonstrated by the example of large coccygeal teratomas. The availability of equipment, facilities and manpower at the time of delivery guarantees a course of delivery at reduced risk and is, together with the psychological guidance of the parents, a basic element of optimal care for the newborn.
