Abstract

Summary Background The beneficial outcomes of hepatectomy in patients with colorectal metastases have encouraged the attempts of repeated hepatectomy in patients with recurrent disease. Although studies have provided encouraging results regarding perioperative outcomes and survival rates following repeated hepatectomy, it remains unclear whether the reported outcomes reflect the therapeutic results of redo hepatectomy or rather reflect the effect of selection bias. The aim of this study was to investigate differences among patients who underwent single and repeated hepatectomy and to hereby identify prognostic factors that contribute to the premises of repeated resection. Methods Patients who underwent hepatectomy due to colorectal metastases were listed in a retrospective database. Study participants were divided into a single partial hepatectomy group, a multiple partial hepatectomies group, and into subgroups of two or more than two hepatectomies. Results A total of 338 patients with 439 partial liver resections were included in the analysis. The overall survival rate after 1, 3, and 5 years was 89%, 56%, and 36%, respectively. The survival benefit in patients who underwent multiple partial liver resections versus those with a single partial resection was 10%, 16%, and 4% after 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Repeated hepatectomy was not associated with increased rates of surgical and non-surgical complications. Conclusion Beneficial outcomes have been found in terms of median overall survival and perioperative morbidity in patients with recurrence of colorectal hepatic metastases after partial and tissue-sparing repeated liver resections.
