Abstract
Background: Indications for combined colon surgery together with other procedures include oncologic multivisceral resections and abdominal trauma. It is unclear if combining minimally invasive (MI) colon surgery with unrelated other procedures increases the risk for complications. Patients and Methods: The surgical database from two institutions during a 10-year period was queried for combined colon surgeries together with other interventions. All open cases, combined cases performed for one pathology and MI colectomies together with a minor procedure, were excluded. Results: Median age of the 6 men and 7 women was 64.4 (range 42.7-75.4) years. Colon surgeries included right (5), sigmoid (4) transverse (1) colectomies, rectum resection (1), rectopexy (1), and colostomy reversal (1) with indications of colorectal cancer (5), diverticulitis (3), benign ileocecal mass (1), colonic volvulus (3) and rectal prolapse (1). Second procedures included two splenectomies (sarcoidosis, ITP), paraesophageal hernia repairs (4), right diaphragmatic repairs [eventration (2) and Morgagni type hernia]; cholecystectomies (2), appendectomy (acute appendicitis), duodenal wedge resection (carcinoid), reversal of a gastric bypass (Roux limb stricture) one each. Cases were done laparoscopically (7) and robotic assisted (6). In most cases only 4 trocars were used. Median OR time was 4.3 (range 2.5 to 6.6) hours. No anastomotic breakdown was observed. Conclusions: Combining MI colectomy and other major abdominal surgeries can be safely done and in this series did not increase morbidity or mortality but avoids a second operation. Patient selection seems important and port placement may need to be altered to achieve good exposure for both procedures.

Lo WM, Tohme ST, Geller DA. Recent Advances in Minimally Invasive Liver Resection for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases-A Review. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 15:cancers15010142. [PMID: 36612137 PMCID: PMC9817853 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15010142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches to liver resection have been increasingly adopted into use for surgery on colorectal cancer liver metastases. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the outcomes when comparing laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), robotic liver resection (RLR), and open liver resection (OLR) for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) in 39 studies (2009-2022) that include a case-matched series, propensity score analyses, and three randomized clinical trials. LLR is associated with less intraoperative blood loss and shorter hospital stay compared with OLR. LLR can be performed with comparable operative time. LLR has similar rates of perioperative complications and mortality as OLR. There were no significant differences in 5-year overall or disease-free survival between approaches. Robotic liver resection (RLR) has comparable perioperative safety to LLR and may improve rates of R0 resection in certain patients. Finally, MIS approaches to the hepatic resection of CRLM reduce the time from liver resection to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy. Thus, MIS liver surgery should be considered in the array of options for patients with CRLM, though thoughtful patient selection and surgeon experience should be part of that decision.

Abstract
Liver is the main target organ for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases. It is estimated that ~25% of CRC patients have synchronous metastases at diagnosis, and about 60% of CRC patients will develop metastases during the follow up. Although several teams have performed simultaneous laparoscopic resections (SLR) of liver and colorectal lesions, the feasibility and safety of this approach is still widely debated and few studies on this topic are present in the literature. The purpose of this literature review is to understand the state of the art of SLR and to clarify the potential benefits and limitations of this approach. Several studies have shown that SLR can be performed safely and with short-term outcomes similarly to the separated procedures. Simultaneous laparoscopic colorectal and hepatic resections combine the advantages of one stage surgery with those of laparoscopic surgery. Several reports compared the short-term outcomes of one stage laparoscopic resection with open resections and showed a similar or inferior amount of blood loss, a similar or lower complication rate, and a significant reduction of hospital stay for laparoscopic surgery respect to open surgery but much longer operating times for the laparoscopic technique. Few retrospective studies compared long term outcomes of laparoscopic one stage surgery with the outcomes of open one stage surgery and did not identify any differences about disease free survival and the overall survival. In conclusion, hepatic and colorectal SLR are a safe and effective approach characterized by less intraoperative blood loss, faster recovery of intestinal function, and shorter length of postoperative hospital stay. Moreover, laparoscopic approach is associated to lower rates of surgical complications without significant differences in the long-term outcomes compared to the open surgery.

Laparoscopic Versus Open Simultaneous Resection of Primary Colorectal Cancer and Associated Liver Metastases: A Comparative Retrospective Study. SURGICAL LAPAROSCOPY, ENDOSCOPY & PERCUTANEOUS TECHNIQUES 2021; 32:73-78. [PMID: 34534201 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000001005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing laparoscopic versus open colorectal resection with simultaneous resection for liver metastases. Currently there is a lack of studies that have investigated the oncosurgical aspects and the short and long-term outcomes from these procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of patients who underwent simultaneous resections for CRC and synchronous liver metastases between 2008 and 2019 in 2 university affiliated medical centers. RESULTS Sixty-three patients were identified of whom 21 had successful laparoscopic simultaneous resections. In 43% of patients, the primary tumor was located in the right colon. The 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 87% and 48%, respectively. When compared with a separate control group of 42 patients who underwent conventional open resections, the laparoscopic approach was associated with an increased operative time (286 vs. 225 min, P=0.05), but a shorter hospital stay (6 vs. 8 d, P=0.008). CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous laparoscopic colorectal and parenchymal sparing liver resection for metastatic CRC is safe, feasible, and it is a preferable approach because of better short-term outcome compared with open surgery while not compromising survival and disease recurrence.

The Italian Consensus on minimally invasive simultaneous resections for synchronous liver metastasis and primary colorectal cancer: A Delphi methodology. Updates Surg 2021; 73:1247-1265.

Abstract
At the time of diagnosis synchronous colorectal cancer, liver metastases (SCRLM) account for 15-25% of patients. If primary tumour and synchronous liver metastases are resectable, good results may be achieved performing surgical treatment incorporated into the chemotherapy regimen. So far, the possibility of simultaneous minimally invasive (MI) surgery for SCRLM has not been extensively investigated. The Italian surgical community has captured the need and undertaken the effort to establish a National Consensus on this topic. Four main areas of interest have been analysed: patients' selection, procedures, techniques, and implementations. To establish consensus, an adapted Delphi method was used through as many reiterative rounds were needed. Systematic literature reviews were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses instructions. The Consensus took place between February 2019 and July 2020. Twenty-six Italian centres participated. Eighteen clinically relevant items were identified. After a total of three Delphi rounds, 30-tree recommendations reached expert consensus establishing the herein presented guidelines. The Italian Consensus on MI surgery for SCRLM indicates possible pathways to optimise the treatment for these patients as consensus papers express a trend that is likely to become shortly a standard procedure for clinical pictures still on debate. As matter of fact, no RCT or relevant case series on simultaneous treatment of SCRLM are available in the literature to suggest guidelines. It remains to be investigated whether the MI technique for the simultaneous treatment of SCRLM maintain the already documented benefit of the two separate surgeries.

Abstract
Different strategies may be adopted in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases (LM). The role of laparoscopy has been investigated to define the benefits of minimally invasive surgery in a single-stage operation. In our study, we report our experience of 28 Minimally Invasive Robotic-Assisted combined Colorectal and Liver Excision Surgery (MIRACLES). From October 2012 to December 2019, 135 Robotic liver resections and 218 Robotic Colorectal resections were performed in our center. Twenty-eight patients underwent MIRACLES resection with 37 nodules removed. Fifty-two lesions in 28 patients were resected in minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery. Eighteen lesions were located in postero-superior liver segments (eight in segment VII, two in segment VIII, eight in segment IVa). Nine right colectomies, seven left colectomies, ten anterior rectal resections, one Hartmann and one MILES procedures were performed. The median surgical time of MIRACLES procedures was 332 min. Two conversions to open approach were necessary. Four major complications (> III) were observed. No postoperative mortality was recorded. The median hospital stay was 8 days. The median overall survival was 27.5 months. The MIRACLES approach is feasible and safe for colorectal resection and hepatic nodules located in all segments, with a low rate of postoperative complications. Surgical technique is demanding and should be reserved, presently, to tertiary centers.

Abstract
Introduction Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer and liver tumors are accepted as alternative procedure to open surgery. However, few studies reported outcomes of simultaneous laparoscopic surgery of these two procedures. The aim of this study was to compare short-term outcomes between laparoscopic and open approach. Materials and methods Between June 2010 to December 2019, simultaneous laparoscopic cases were retrospectively matched (1:2) to open cases. Peri-operative and short-term outcomes were compared between both groups. Results Twelve patients in laparoscopic group were matched to 24 patients in open group according to age, gender, body mass index, american society of anesthesiologists physical status, preoperative laboratory data, number and size of liver metastases and extent of colorectal and liver resection, Most patients in each group had left-sided colon or rectal cancer and underwent wedge liver resection. The mean number of liver metastases was 1.3 vs 1.5 and size of liver metastases was 2.2 ± 1.4 vs 2.7 ± 1.1 cm in laparoscopic compared to open group. Estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay were significantly lower in laparoscopic group. However, operative time was significantly longer in laparoscopic group. Peri-operative complication was not significant difference between both groups and there was no mortality. Conclusion Simultaneous laparoscopic colorectal surgery and minor liver resection is feasible and safe. Laparoscopic approach has better peri-operative outcome in term of shorter length of hospital stay compared to open approach. Outcome of simultaneous laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases remains controversy. This study showed comparable peri-operative outcomes of simultaneous laparoscopic compared to open surgery. Simultaneous laparoscopic surgery had shorter length of hospital stay and less operative blood loss.
