โœฆ Synopsis

Cryosurgery for liver metastases may improve survival for unresectable hepatic metastases. The laparoscopic approach to managing these tumors is a novel method fostered by increasing surgeon and patient interest in minimally invasive surgical techniques and the development of laparoscopic ultrasound and cryoprobes. A retrospective review of our patients who underwent laparoscopic cryoablation of hepatic tumors from April 1996 to December 1997 was conducted. We report on this experience and comment on the feasibility and safety of the procedure based on this early trial.

Because hepatic resection is generally a safe procedure, the indications for resection of noncolorectal nonneuroendocrine (NCNNE) hepatic metastases have broadened. The prognostic features of NCNNE metastases treated surgically were reviewed to define better the value of resection. A retrospective r
