HEPATECTOMIA CONVENCIONAL EM DOIS ESTÁGIOS VERSUS ALPPS: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA SOBRE O TRATAMENTO DE METÁSTASE HEPÁTICA COLORRETAL

Abstract

This study compared the outcomes of two modalities of hepatectomies for the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis. The research is justified by the high morbidity and mortality associated with hepatic surgical interventions, as these require a delicate approach and intricate techniques, posing a challenge in the surgical field. The aim was to highlight the operative technique with greater efficacy, outlining its associated benefits and risks, in order to identify the definitively superior aspects within the literature among the analyzed modalities. The methodology involved a literature review of 46 articles, written in Portuguese and English, available in various databases from 2019 to 2024. The results indicated that ALPPS had limited advantages compared to HDE, demonstrating greater surgical efficacy, while the rates of perioperative complications and short-term outcomes were comparable between the two techniques, with no evidence of differences in reducing morbidity and mortality. Conversely, there were discrepancies in determining the overall survival rates between the two techniques, underscoring the need for further studies on the topic and the exploration of less invasive methods with lower rates of surgical morbidity and mortality.
