Laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy for pediatric liver transplantation in chile

Abstract

The impact of primary tumour location (sidedness) in colorectal cancer has been thoroughly investigated in first-lineand palliative chemotherapystudies. While in these patients, right-sided tumours were associated with worse outcome, data on impact of sidedness concerning postoperative long-term survival after resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) are scarce. Methods: All patients undergoing hepatic resection for newly diagnosed CRLM in two Austrian high-volume centres between 2003e2016 were analysed. Influence of patient, treatment and tumour characteristics on postoperative survival was evaluated. Results: A total of 252 patients (40% female; median 64a) underwent resection with a 90-day-mortality of 1.2% (31% major resections, 55% received preoperative chemotherapy). Primary tumour characteristics were: 25% rightsided, 57% nodal positive. Metastasis characteristics were: synchronous metastasis in 64%, 38% bilobar hepatic
