Oncological outcomes of repeat metastasectomy for recurrence after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although hepatectomy is the standard and only curative treatment for colorectal liver metastases, recurrence occurs in various organs, including the remnant liver, lung, peritoneum, and others. The outcomes and predictive factors of repeat metastasectomy for recurrence after initial hepatectomy remains controversial.

Methods

We retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 132 patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases in a single institute.

Results

There were 99 recurrence cases after initial hepatectomy, and 42 patients underwent metastasectomy (first repeat metastasectomy) to achieve R0 (17 liver cases, 16 lung cases, and 9 multiple or other cases), while 19 patients underwent subsequent second repeat metastasectomy (4 liver ca
