Ressecção de metastáses hepáticas em dois estágios e reconstrução da veia cava suprarrenal

Abstract

Two-stage hepatectomy uses compensatory liver regeneration after a first noncurative hepatectomy to enable a second curative resection. Herein we report the tecnical aspects of the management of a thirty-seven years-old woman with colorectal metastasis to the liver eligible because single resection could not achieve complete treatment, even in combination with chemotherapy, portal embolization, or radiofrequency, but tumors could be totally removed by two sequential resections.
