Abstract

The risk for postoperative liver failure is the most important limitation for the treatment of patients with primary or secondary liver cancer. Among the different strategies used to increase resectability in liver tumors, a technique known as ALPPS (associating liver partition with portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy) was developed for patients with tumors previously considered unresectable.
We report the case of a male patient referred to our center with a diagnosis of synchronous multiple liver metastases of colorectal cancer considered unresectable who underwent ALPPS using liver-first reverse approach.
