Repeat Liver ResectionsPerformance of repeated hepatectomiesCommentator: RENÉ ADAM, MDComment:Keep in mind that 60 to 70 percent of patients present with a recurrence. Of these, I would estimate that from one-third to one-half of patients will undergo repeat hepatectomy. At this time, half of the patients in the operating program of our institution are undergoing a repeat hepatectomy.
Estimating the likelihood that surgery will be effective in patients with recurrent diseaseCommentator: STEVEN ALBERTS, MDComment:If disease recurs within one year, the likelihood that an additional surgery will help seems to be smaller. However, if the recurrence area appears to be isolated, it is reasonable to consider resecting.
