<bold>Introduction</bold>: ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy), is a recently developed procedure, first performed by HJ Schlitt in Regensburg, Germany. The technique developed two stages of hepatectomy. The ALPPS procedure has been introduced to increase the volume of future liver remnant, much more than the other technique, such as PVE (portal vein embolization). The first ALPPS in our country was introduced and performed by our team on May 15th, 2018.
<bold>Results</bold>: The 60-year-old patient was previously operated on for rectal cancer in 2017 at another institution. The operation was performed with anterior resection and the patient was in long term adjuvant chemotherapy. One year after surgery, the patient has multiple bilobar liver metastases and increased tumor markers that led to instant admission to our institution for liver resection. In the first stage, we performed four metastasectomies on the left lobe with right portal vein ligation and transection on the Cantlie line. The second stage was performed after a CT evaluation on the eighth day, with significant hypertrophy on the left lobe. Pathological findings reported ten metastases on the right lobe with a diameter 1-3 cm. The patient was on the long-term chemotherapy, and after one year he had other MS in the IVa segment of the liver. We also performed a metastasectomy. The patient died 32 months after ALPPS.
<bold>Conclusion</bold>: ALPPS is a safe and feasible procedure for the treatment of bilobar liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. It could provide long-term survival for patients.

Introduction: ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy), is a recently developed procedure, first performed by HJ Schlitt in Regensburg, Germany. The technique developed two stages of hepatectomy. The ALPPS procedure has been introduced to increase the volume of future liver remnant, much more than the other technique, such as PVE (portal vein embolization). The first ALPPS in our country was introduced and performed by our team on May 15th, 2018.
Results: The 60-year-old patient was previously operated on for rectal cancer in 2017 at another institution. The operation was performed with anterior resection and the patient was in long term adjuvant chemotherapy. One year after surgery, the patient has multiple bilobar liver metastases and increased tumor markers that led to instant admission to our institution for liver resection. In the first stage, we performed four metastasectomies on the left lobe with right portal vein ligation and transection on the Cantlie line. The second stage was performed after a CT evaluation on the eighth day, with significant hypertrophy on the left lobe. Pathological findings reported ten metastases on the right lobe with a diameter 1-3 cm. The patient was on the long-term chemotherapy, and after one year he had other MS in the IVa segment of the liver. We also performed a metastasectomy. The patient died 32 months after ALPPS.
Conclusion: ALPPS is a safe and feasible procedure for the treatment of bilobar liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. It could provide long-term survival for patients.
