En bloc resection of abdominal aorta and paraaortic lymph node metastasis of sigmoid cancer

The surgical management of colorectal metastasis is becoming a widespread practice in oncology. Synchronous resection of metastasis together with invaded major vessels (aorta) is still considered an extremely aggressive procedure. We demonstrate that en bloc resection of invaded aorta and paraaortic...

Description
Summary:	The surgical management of colorectal metastasis is becoming a widespread practice in oncology. Synchronous resection of metastasis together with invaded major vessels (aorta) is still considered an extremely aggressive procedure. We demonstrate that en bloc resection of invaded aorta and paraaortic lymph node metastasis can be safely performed. The literature from experiences with similar techniques is also discussed.
