Brief Summary

It is not rare that two-stage hepatectomy for multiple bilobar colorectal liver metastases (CLM) be left incomplete because of disease progression or technical reasons. One-stage hepatectomy seems a feasible and safe alternative, however, long-term results are lacking. This study aims to provide evidence that one-stage hepatectomy compelling tumor exposure provides adequate long-term results with low risk of local recurrences.

Conditions

Liver Metastases

Keywords

Liver Metastases; Surgery; Intraoperative Ultrasound

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• feasibility on an intention-to-treat basis

  at the time of surgical intervention

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• safety of the procedure

  At 30 and 90 postoperative days

Other Outcomes (1)

• reliability of the procedure from an oncological standpoint

  6-months of minimum follow-up for local recurrences; 5 years actuarial curves for overall survival and time to recurrence

Study Arms (1)

Multiple Bilobar CLM

Patients selected for hepatectomy because carrier of multiple (\> or = to 4), bilobar CLM

Procedure: Hepatectomy

Interventions

Hepatectomy PROCEDURE

Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) criteria for tumor-vessel relations let maximizing the preservation of the hepatic vascular skeleton. Contact between colorectal liver metastases and a major intrahepatic vessel is not by itself a criteria for vessel resection: tumor exposure is not contraindicated. If resection of a hepatic vein (HV), resection of the liver parenchyma drained by that vein is considered or not based on color-flow IOUS findings (hepatofugal blood flow in the feeding portal branch, evidence or not of communicating veins between adjacent HVs, evidence or not of accessory HVs). Parenchymal transection is performed under intermittent clamping by the Pringle maneuver. Drains are always inserted and a chest tube is inserted in patients undergoing thoracophrenolaparotomy.

Multiple Bilobar CLM

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with multiple (\> or = to 4) and bilobar colorectal liver metastases

You may qualify if:

• Those patients considered resectable and presenting 4 or more CLM, involving both liver lobes are systematically approached in a one stage operation.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients carriers of more than 3 lung metastases, and/or diffuse peritoneal carcinomatosis, and/or extra-hilar lymph node metastasis
