Objective:
To investigate the safety and long term outcome of simultaneous liver and colorectal resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastasis.
Methods:
Forty-three synchronous colorectal liver metastasis patients who received simultaneous colectomy and hepatectomy between May 1981 and November 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
The group included 21 male patients and 22 female patients, with the median age of 52 years. The overall median operative time was 180 minutes, 30 cases received blood transfusion, and the median volume was 800 ml. The median hospital stay was 15 days. The morbidity and mortality was 18.6% and 2.3%, respectively. The overall median survival time was 25 months, 5-year survival rate was 19.1%. The survival of patients underwent R0 resection were substantially better (median survival time 48 months, 5-year survival rate 33.8%) than that of the patients who did not undergo R0 resection (20 months, 7.6%) (P = 0.002).
Conclusions:
Simultaneous liver and colorectal resection is safe and effective for synchronous colorectal liver metastasis. Furthermore, simultaneous R0 resection should be the optimal surgery for the resectable cases.
