Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Repeat liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) is feasible and safe, offering improved survival outcomes compared to initial resections. Key predictors of survival include primary CLM size and the extent of hepatic resection.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Gastrointestinal oncology

Background:

  • Colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) frequently recur after resection, necessitating further treatment.
  • Repeat resection is the only curative option for recurrent CLMs, but outcome data are limited.
  • This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of repeat CLM resection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze postoperative morbidity, mortality, and survival predictors after repeat resection of CLMs.
  • To compare outcomes of repeat CLM resection with single liver resections.
  • To identify factors influencing survival in patients undergoing repeat CLM surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1026 primary and 94 repeat CLM resections (1994-2010).
  • Comparison with outcomes of single hepatic resections.
  • Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models to identify survival predictors.

Main Results:

  • Repeat CLM resection demonstrated low morbidity (15.8%) and mortality (1.3%), comparable to initial resections.
  • Overall survival was significantly improved following repeat resection compared to single liver resections (P = 0.003).
  • Primary CLM size >50 mm (HR 2.61) and major hepatic resection (HR 2.62) were independent predictors of survival, with the latter associated with poorer outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Repeat resection of CLMs is a safe and feasible surgical option.
  • Outcomes of repeat CLM surgery are comparable to initial or single resections.
  • Identifying predictors like primary tumor size and resection extent can optimize patient selection and outcomes.
