The management of patients with colorectal liver metastases is still controversial. Recent evidence suggests benefit for resection of localized metastases within a single lobe of the liver. A series of 49 patients undergoing liver resection for localized liver metastases is presented. Resection involved right hepatectomy (23), left hepatectomy (8) and segmental excision (18). The median age was 62 (range 40-77). Patients have been followed for a period of up to seven years. The overall median survival was 24 months. The actuarial 3-year survival was 57.9%. There was no significant correlation of survival with the degree of differentiation or Dukes staging of the primary tumour. This series adds further weight to the evidence supporting resection in selected patients with colorectal liver metastases.
