Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience in laparoscopic resection of metastic liver cancer. Methods The clinical data of the patients receiving laparoscopic resection of metastic liver cancer performed in Brisbane hospital from 1999 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 28 patients received the laparoscopic resection of metastic liver cancer. Procedures included left lateral segmentectomy in 13 patients, right hemihepatectomy in 9 and segmental or subsegmental resection in 6. Survival rate and disease free survival rate in 12 patients with colorectal metastasis being followed up for 2 years were 75% and 67%. Conclusion Laparoscopic liver resection is safe and feasible in strictly selected patients with malignancy in an appropriate stage. The surgeons should have rich experience of open liver resection and advanced laparoscopic technique.
