Staged resection of bilobar colorectal liver metastases: Surgical strategies.
Langenbecks Arch. Surg. 400, 633-640 (2015)
BACKGROUND: Radical resection is the treatment of choice for colorectal liver metastases (CLM). Unfortunately, only about 20 % of patients present with initially resectable disease, in most cases due to bilobar disease. In the last two decades, major achievements have been made to extend surgical indications to patients with bilobar CLM, such as two-stage hepatectomy with or without portal vein occlusion and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). PURPOSE: The purpose of this review article was to summarize current surgical approaches and their safety and efficacy for patients with initially unresectable bilobar CLM. CONCLUSION: In selected patients, two-stage hepatectomy and ALPPS are efficient and safe to convert unresectable to resectable CLM. Further studies are required to evaluate long-term outcome of these procedures.
