Hepatic lobectomy for metastatic cancer

Hepatic resection for metastatic colorectal cancer.

One-hundred thirty-one primary hepatic resection for colorectal secondary tumors were performed at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center between 1975 and 1993. Perioperative mortality occurred in five patients (3.8%). Twenty-three patients had minor morbidities (18%); major morbidity occurred only in the five patients who died. Curative resections were performed in 107 patients. Overall a...

Anterior Hepatic Transection for Caudate Lobectomy

Resection of the caudate lobe (segment I- dorsal sector, segment IX- right paracaval region, or both) is often technically difficult due to the lobe's location deep in the hepatic parenchyma and because it is adjacent to the major hepatic vessels (e.g., the left and middle hepatic veins). A literature search was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE for the terms "caudate lobectomy" and "anterior hepati...

Simultaneous Laparoscopic Anterior Resection and Left Hepatic Lobectomy for Stage IV Rectal Cancer

We report the case of a 68-year-old female patient affected by rectal cancer and a synchronous metastatic lesion measuring 8 cm in diameter in the left hepatic lobe. After a laparoscopic ultrasonography exploration of the liver to detect possible occult metastases, a simultaneous colorectal resection and a left hepatic lobectomy including a partial resection of segment IV were performed. Five p...

Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic lobectomy without endotracheal intubation. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA General anesthesia with single-lung ventilation is considered mandatory for thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy has not been reported previously. METHODS From August 2009 through June 2010, some ...
