title: [The rationale for combined operations for rectal cancer metastases to the liver].
abstract: The results of 12 observations over the patients subjected to resection of the cancer involved rectum, associated with segmental or edge resection of the liver in case of solitary metastatic foci in it, are reported. These patients survived, on an average, for 3 years after the operation. It is believed that the combination surgical intervention for rectal cancer with solitary metastases in the liver should be considered to be the operation of choice. Solitary focal changes in the liver in surgical treatment of rectal cancer should be verified morphologically in most cases.
