[Surgery of hepatic metastases of tumors of the genitourinary tract of males].

Abstract

Hepatic metastases from genito-urinary tract neoplasms are infrequently eligible for surgical treatment. Nevertheless, some patients affected by primary renal adenocarcinoma or by Wilms' tumor, with single or lobe-confined hepatic metastasis, can be enrolled for a surgical excision of the hepatic lesion. Selection criteria of the patients are fully discussed; surgical treatment by anatomical resections (segmentectomy or hepatectomy) with primary parenchymal dissection are preferred.
