Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of simultaneous resection in patients with colorectal liver metastases, and to analyze the related risk factors. Methods Clinical data of 86 patients underwent simultaneous resection with colorectal liver metastases, from March 2007 to December 2009 in our hospital were collected, and risk factors related to prognostic were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results No perioperative death was found in 86 patients. The postoperative complication rate was 12.79% (11/86), including 5 patients with wound infection, 2 cases with anastomotic leakage, 1 case with anastomotic bleeding, 3 cases with bile leakage, which were cured or eased by drainage, antibiotics and other supportive treatments. Until the end of the follow-up, 42 patients died, and the median survival time was 60 months. A total of 51 cases had tumor recurrence or distant metastasis, including 38 cases had intrahepatic recurrence, 7 cases had lung metastasis and 6 cases had metastasis to other parts. The overall survival rates of 1-year, 3-year and 5-year were 93.84%, 75.58% and 50.74%, respectively, and the tumor-free survival rates were 88.37%, 61.10% and 31.80%. Logistic multivariate regression showed that lymph node metastasis, liver metastasis number ≥ 4 months, liver positive margin and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level ≥ 100 μg/L were major risk factors related to prognosis; neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved outcomes of patients. Conclusions Simultaneous resection of synchronous colorectal liver metastases is safe and feasible. Positive Lymph node metastasis, liver metastasis number ≥ 4 months, liver positive margin and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level ≥ 100 μg/L are the main risk factors of poor prognosis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve the survival rate of patients.
