Repeat liver resection for colorectal metastases offers long-term survival for select patients. This study shows successful outcomes in patients undergoing a second hepatectomy for isolated liver recurrences.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Colorectal Cancer Management

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer frequently metastasizes to the liver.
  • Complete resection of isolated liver metastases can offer long-term survival.
  • Repeat liver resection for recurrent metastases is a complex decision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of repeat liver resection for isolated colorectal metastases.
  • To identify factors influencing survival after second hepatectomy for liver recurrence.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 106 patients with complete resection of isolated colorectal liver metastases.
  • Analysis of outcomes for 9 patients who underwent repeat liver resection for isolated hepatic recurrences.
  • Median follow-up of 21 months for patients undergoing repeat resection.

Main Results:

  • One postoperative death occurred after the second hepatectomy.
  • Five patients (55.6%) were alive and disease-free at 9-67 months post-second resection.
  • Three patients survived but experienced disease recurrence, with two undergoing subsequent pulmonary nodule resection.

Conclusions:

  • Repeat hepatic resection for isolated colorectal metastases can achieve long-term survival in carefully selected patients.
  • Careful patient selection is crucial for successful outcomes in repeat liver surgery.
  • Further research is warranted to optimize selection criteria for repeat hepatectomy.
