- Abstract
Simultaneous resection of colorectal tumor and liver metastasis has been advocated because of the benefits of avoiding a second operation, reduced morbidity, shorter treatment time, and similar outcomes. We report a case of simultaneous laparoscopic resection. The operative time was 350 minutes and the estimated blood loss was 500 mL. The patient required parenteral analgesia for less than 48 hours. Flatus was passed on postoperative day 3, and a solid diet was resumed on postoperative day 5. He was fully mobile on postoperative day 4 and was discharged 3 days later. With the advance of laparoscopic technology and technique, simultaneous resection becomes an attractive option.
