Abstract
Portal venous infusion of chemotherapy may prove to be an important treatment effective in diminishing the incidence of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. To infuse drugs safely and reliably, we have cannulated major branches of the portal vein exposed during right or left colectomy. To prevent bleeding into the free peritoneal cavity upon catheter removal, the cannula is secured with elastic suture material. The technique has been used in 30 patients without complication.
