title: [Surgical treatment of liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma].
abstract: Colorectal carcinoma metastasizes into the liver, but liver-only metastases are infrequent. Liver-only metastases are seen mainly from colorectal carcinoma. This is the only metastatic disease where treatment aimed only or mainly at the liver metastases is employed with curative intent. If liver resection for colorectal metastases is done by an experienced team, adhering to predefined indications, five year survival ranges from 30-40%, operative mortality is 3-5% and the postoperative morbidity is acceptable. New diagnostic techniques have been introduced and indications for liver resection extended. This paper presents the current limitations and possibilities for the surgical management of colorectal metastases in the liver.
