[Two Cases of Laparoscopic Simultaneous Resection for Synchronous Liver Metastasis of Colon Cancer].

We report 2 cases of laparoscopic simultaneous resection for synchronous liver metastasis of colon cancer. Case 1: A 76- year-old woman was diagnosed with advanced cecum cancer(type 3)with synchronous liver metastasis(segment 5: 23mm), Laparoscopic ileocecal resection and partial liver resection were performed for 414 minutes, with 20 mL of blood loss. The patient was discharged 11 days after the operation. Case 2: A 78-year-old woman was diagnosed with advanced sigmoid colon cancer(type 2)with synchronous liver metastasis(segment 2: 70mm). Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy and extrahepatic resection were performed for 382 minutes, with 10 mL of blood loss. Portal vein thrombus(umbilicus)was recognized but relieved with warfarin. The patient was discharged 15 days after the operation. Simultaneous laparoscopic colon and hepatectomy for synchronous liver metastasis of colorectal cancer can be safely performed for selected indications.
