Sažetak
Background. The liver is, after the lymph nodes, the second most common seat of all metastatic tumors and most frequent seat of haematogenic metastatic tumors in the body. Metastatic tumors are the most common malignant liver tumors. Methods. Insight into the histories of patients treated at our Institute and their statistical analysis. Results. In the period from 2002 up to 2009 we operated 111 patients with metastatic liver tumors. Distribution of primary tumors in operated patients was: 68 colorectal cancers, 17 biliary cancers, 10 pancreatic cancers, 7 gastric cancers, 3 melanomas, 2 lung cancers and one renal, suprarenal, breast and cervix cancer. In 3 patients wemade repeated liver resection due to the reappearance of metastases after previous resection of metastases. In 66 patients we made a segmentectomy, in 20 patients hepatectomy was done in 6 of them expanded, and in 28 patients we made a metastasectomy. Surgical techniques of liver resection included the use of ultrasound Cusae knife for parenchymal organ resection, and two metastasectomies were made laparoscopically. Conclusions. The best results in the treatment of liver metastases are achieved by resections in respect to functional anatomical distribution in the liver segments. An important factor is the number of operated patients, where specialized tertiary centers with a large number of patients achieved significantly better results.
