Possibilities of laparoscopic simultaneous surgery in the treatment of rectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) with synchronous liver metastases remains a complex problem in modern oncology. Minimally invasive simultaneous surgeries are increasingly considered as an effective approach to treating this category of patients. The article describes a clinical case in which laparoscopic simultaneous surgery was performed for rectal cancer with solitary liver metastasis. The patient successfully underwent simultaneous laparoscopic-assisted intra-abdominal rectal resection, with left hemihepatectomy, with resection of SV and SVIII of the right lobe of the liver. The presented case demonstrates the effectiveness of laparoscopic access in performing simultaneous surgeries in patients with CRC and synchronous liver metastases. Further work in this direction will allow us to define more clearly the place of laparoscopy in performing simultaneous operations in surgical oncology.
