Abstract

Associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy ? ALPPS ? procedure emerged as an alternative to treat patients needing extensive hepatic resections, but with a small future liver remnant. Initially described using the left lateral segments as liver remnant, ALPPS has been adapted to leave as remainder only one segment. Describe a case of a patiente with bilobar colorectal liver metastasis submitted to segment 4-1 ALPPS. A 63-year-old man, previously submitted to transversostomy, due to a left colon stenosing adenocarcinoma, associated to bilobar liver metastasis, was referred for our evaluation, after receiving a FOLFOX based chemotherapy. Due to the large load of tumor within the liver, we opted to perform a segment 4-1 ALPPS, which was carried out with an interval of 21 days between first and second stages. The liver remnant increased from 250 cc to 694 cc (18% to 48% of standard liver volume). The patient was discharged 15 days after second stage surgery and was subjected to left colectomy after five months. He is disease-free ten months after liver surgery. Monosegment ALPPS is a challenging, but feasible procedure, that should be criteriously indicated in selected patients and performed by a hepatobiliary surgery team with experience in complex major hepatectomies.
