title: [Recurrent liver metastases from colorectal cancer: their surgical treatment].
abstract: Records of 8 patients undergoing repeated operation for isolated hepatic metastasis were reviewed for operative morbidity and mortality, survival, disease-free survival. The mean interval between the initial colon operation and first hepatic resection and that between the first and the second hepatic operation were calculated. Both were found to be correlated with survival of these patients. Repeat hepatic operation for recurrent colorectal metastasis to the liver yields comparable results to first hepatic resections in terms of operative mortality and morbidity, survival, disease-free survival. Repeated hepatic operation is the most successful for of treatment for isolated recurrent colorectal metastasis.
