One-Stage Ultrasound-Guided Hepatectomy for Multiple Bilobar Colorectal Metastases: a Feasible and Effective Alternative to Two-Stage Hepatectomy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating One-stage ultrasound guided hepatectomy for Colorectal Cancer and Liver Metastases. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Two-stage hepatectomy with or without portal vein embolization allows to treat multiple bilobar metastases expanding surgical indications for these patients. However, it has some related drawbacks: two operations are needed, and some patients do not complete the treatment strategy for disease progression. Using experience gained from our ultrasound guided resection policy we explored the safety and effectiveness of one-stage surgical procedures in patients otherwise recommended for the two-stage approach.

Interventions
Surgical strategy was based on tumor-vessel relationship at intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS)and on findings at color-Doppler IOUS.
