| Popis: | Introduction: Obesity represents a risk factor in case of major hepatectomy, because the future liver remnant (FLR) must be proportional with body weight. To avoid post-hepatectomy liver failure, and further increase the ratio between FLR and body weight, we performed a bariatric procedure in the first stage of the ALPPS technique. Patient concerns: Fifty-four-year-old woman, with morbid obesity (BMI 58.5) and type II diabetes mellitus, was scheduled for a major hepatectomy due to multiple colorectal liver metastases Diagnosis: Six months before, the patient was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases. She was initially treated with sigmoidectomy and chemotherapy. After partial response of the liver metastases, we considered a liver resection but the FLR was very low, especially in relation to her BMI. Intervention: We planned a novel approach and, for the first time, we performed a sleeve gastrectomy during the first stage of Tourniquet ALPPS (T-ALPPS). After achieving an adequate FLR, we successfully completed the major hepatectomy during the second stage of T-ALPPS. Outcome: The association between sleeve gastrectomy and T-ALPPS produced an increase of FLR/body weight ratio up to 0.8 that allowed completing a right trisectionectomy in the second stage of ALPPS. The major hepatectomy was performed without severe complications, and several months after surgery the patient is still alive without any recurrence Conclusion: Despite obesity represents a risk factor involved in the carcinogenesis, the role of the bariatric surgery in the oncological setting is not well established. In this clinical case, we benefited from the weight loss produced by bariatric surgery combined with an effective hypertrophy technique and chemotherapy. These findings suggest that bariatric surgery could be useful for obese patients with liver malignancy and need for extended hepatectomy. |
