Treatment of colorectal cancer with synchronous bilobar liver metastases with simultaneous bowel and liver resection plus radiofrequency ablation.

Patients with synchronous bilobar colorectal liver metastases usually have an extent or distribution of the metastases that precludes curative resection. Recently radiofrequency ablation has been proved to safely control liver metastases but a combination of radiofrequency ablation with more than liver resection is rarely performed. We report two patients with colorectal primary and synchronous classically unresectable bilobar liver metastases treated with a combination of bowel and liver resection plus radiofrequency ablation.
