«SAVING» A TWO-STAGE LIVER RESECTION BY THE ALPPS TYPE by D. V. Sidorov, M. V. Lozhkin, L. O. Petrov, A. G. Isaeva

“…Despite the improvement of antitumor drugs, the main condition for the successful treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is the operation in a radical volume, implying a macroscopic and microscopic absence of a residual tumor. The main contraindications to anatomic resections of the liver include a marked decrease in liver function, insufficient volume of the remaining parenchyma of the liver, and for a long time, bilobar liver damage was considered, which excludes the possibility of simultaneous removal of all foci.The traditional variant of the surgical solution of the problem of bilobar metastatic liver injury is the implementation of two-stage anatomical resections. …”
