Right Hepatectomy Extended to Segment I with Prosthetic Replacement of the Inferior Vena Cava Due to Hepatocarcinoma Invasion.

The invasion of the inferior vena cava (IVCI) due to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an unusual but aggressive entity. When it hap pens, the disease is considered to be in a very advanced stage, and the proposed treatment is palliative chemotherapy. However, there are recent studies that support radical surgical treatment as a therapeutic option, so their results show longer survivals than chemotherapy without major surgical complications.

Influence of simultaneous liver and peritoneal resection on postoperative morbi-mortality and survival in patients with colon cancer treated with surgical cytoreduction and intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy.

Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery plus intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) has recently been established as the treatment of choice for selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colonic origin. Until recently, the simultaneous presence of peritoneal and hepatic dissemination has been considered a contraindication for surgery. The aim of this paper is to analyze the morbidity, mortality and survival of patients with simultaneous peritoneal and hepatic resection with HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to colon cancer.
