Between January 1981 and December 1990, 79 liver resections were performed for hepatic metastases in 73 patients. Eight of these patients had a repeat resection (2 patients had their first resection performed before 1981). This figure represented 35% of 228 liver resections performed during this period. Mean age was 56.5 years (23 to 81 years). There were 38 men and 35 women. Fifty-four resections were performed for colorectal metastases and 25 resections for secondaries of other origins. There were 45 major hepatectomies (57%), defined by the resection of at least 3 Couinaud segments, and 34 minor resections (less than three segments). In 12 patients, liver resection was associated with excision of the primary tumor. Complications were observed in 25 patients (32%), pulmonary complications being the most frequent. Five re-explorations were necessary: 3 for postoperative bleeding, one for an abdominal abscess and one for intestinal obstruction. Mean postoperative stay was 18 days. There was no mortality for the first liver resections in 71 patients. One death was encountered among the second resections in 8 patients, with a global mortality of 1.3%. Follow-up was obtained for all patients but one (lost to follow-up at 5 years). Actuarial survival for the 50 patients operated on for colorectal secondaries was 98% at 6 months, 83% at 1 year, 46% at 2 years, 24% at 3 years and 15% at 5 years. In non-colorectal secondaries, the survival depended on the nature of the primary tumor but was very different from one patient to another.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
