TY - JOUR AU - Lillemoe, Heather A. AU - Vauthey, Jean-Nicolas PY - 2019 TI - Surgical approach to synchronous colorectal liver metastases: staged, combined, or reverse strategy JF - Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition; Vol 9, No 1 (February 01, 2020): Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition [Special Focus on Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis (Part 1)] Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - An increasing number of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are presenting with synchronous disease to the liver. The optimal surgical approach for this complex patient group is controversial, but ultimately depends on individual patient characteristics and institutional practices. Surgical strategies include the traditional staged approach, a combined colorectal and liver resection, or a liver-first reverse approach. In this review, the authors will provide an overview of each strategy, including case examples demonstrating the benefits of the more recently described liver-first approach, while arguing for individualized planning and multidisciplinary discussion for every patient.
