Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Recent advancements in the technology of cryosurgery along with the development and refinement of intraoperative ultrasound have led to a feasible alternative for some patients with unresectable hepatic malignancy. This paper reports our first year's experience with cryosurgical ablation of unresectable hepatic malignancies. METHODS:From May 1996 to July 1997, 12 patients with colorectal hepatic metastases underwent exploration for possible resection and/or cryosurgery. At surgery, three patients had extensive disease and were not candidates for any surgical treatment, three underwent formal right hepatic lobectomy, five underwent a combination of resection and cryoablation, while one underwent cryoablation alone. RESULTS:In the six patients who received cryosurgery, the mean number of metastatic lesions was four (range 1-6). The mean number of lesions frozen was two (range 1-4) with a mean size of 2.5 cm. (range 1-5 cm). There were no intraoperative deaths and no major postoperative complications. All patients were discharged home in stable condition with a mean hospital stay of eight days (range 5-14 days). At a mean follow-up of 17.3 months (range 10-22) three patients were alive with disease and three were disease free. CONCLUSIONS:Cryosurgical ablation is a safe method of treating unresectable hepatic malignancies and it may extend survival in carefully selected patients.
