title: [Simultaneous laparoscopic resection of colorectal carcinoma and synchronous liver metastasis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the safety and feasibility of simultaneous laparoscopic resection of colorectal carcinoma and synchronous liver metastasis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical data of 11 patients undergoing simultaneous laparoscopic resection of colorectal carcinoma and synchronous liver metastasis in our hospital from January 2011 to October 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Feasibility, safety and efficacy of this procedure were investigated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Procedure was completely successful in all the cases without conversion. The mean operation time was (284.6 ± 28.8) min and the mean blood loss was (322.7 ± 75.4) ml. The mean time to intestinal function recovery was (2.9 ± 0.7) d and the mean hospital stay was (12.3 ± 1.9) d. There were no anastomosis leakage, bile leakage, abdominal massive bleeding or infection, and liver failure after operation. During follow-up of 3-35 months, only one patient died of tumor progression.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic approach for colorectal carcinoma and synchronous liver metastasis is safe and feasible in selected patients.
