[Synchronous hepatectomy and exeresis of primary tumor of the colorectum].
Personal experience of 6 hepatectomies at the some time as primary colorectal tumour excision is reported. Like most Italian and foreign Authors, the paper stresses the negligible mortality and morbidity after this double surgery. Moreover, in these particular patients, it was never necessary to postpone hepatectomy. Finally, emphasis is placed on the importance of intraoperative echography for the identification of micrometastasis in one or two lobes, for the correct staging of the primary tumour and for oncologically appropriate hepatectomy.
