We evaluated the surgical results in 32 patients with liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma. Twenty four patients had 1-3 metastatic hepatic nodules and 20 patients had synchronous hepatic metastasis. Liver resection was carried out simultaneously with radical resection of the primary tumour in 15 patients, 5 patients experienced resection 2 to 4 weeks later. Liver and primary tumour were resected as a whole in 5 patients with infiltrating metastasis from colonic carcinoma.Other operative types included atypical resections, left lateral lobectom and right posterior lobectomy, and right hemihepatactomy, right trilobectomy.Hepatic metastasis were all documented by pathology. The 3year and 5year survival rate were 37.5% and 25.0%, with no operative death. The authors believed that the number of metastasis is the most important factor influencing the surgical result, and liver resection is an effective form of treatment for patients with resectable liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma, but the type of surgery shall be choosed reasonably.
