04/01/2021 - "Surgical resection is the best treatment for colorectal liver metastases with good response to chemotherapy and in the absence of extrahepatic disease.1 With the amelioration of surgical technique, primary and recurrent colorectal liver metastases with venous invasion can be resected safely under short total vascular exclusion (TVE), and associated right thoracotomy can have a major benefit if resection at the hepato-caval junction is planned.2 The availability of the peritoneum as an autologous graft for venous reconstruction considerably facilitates the task of the surgeon.3 In this video, we present a patient who had staged double liver resection, double TVE, and double venous reconstruction by a peritoneal graft on the vena cava and the hepatic vein. "
06/01/1994 - "The number of metastases, the disease-free interval, unilateral versus bilateral metastases, preoperative and postoperative adjuvant treatment, and the number of thoracotomies performed were not of significant influence on outcome. "
01/01/2015 - "Our study confirms that overall survival is equivalent for video-assisted thoracic surgery and thoracotomy, therefore the 'gold standard' surgical treatment for lung metastases remains a point of debate. "
03/05/2015 - "iii) The total number of thoracotomies, and metastases confined to one lung are factors defining patients who experience a better outcome after surgery. "
12/01/2002 - "Analysis of 20 patients with histological confirmed metastasis demonstrated a 2-year disease free and overall survival rate of 50% and 67% respectively following thoracoscopic metastasectomy (n=8) compared to 42% and 70% respectively following confirmatory thoracotomy (n=12). "
