Advanced colorectal tumor resection

3 scenarios

Unresectable primary and/or mets. Asymptomatic - chemotherapy.
- in absence of obstruction or bleeding then palliative chemotherapy is entirely acceptable without taking out primary tumor.


Unresectable primary and/or mets. Bleeding or obstructive- surgery

Resectable primary with mets - two stage primary then mets vs. One stage primary and mets

Lap tips
Anchor ports to prevent rapid desufflation.
No touch technique.
Extraction site wound protector.
Make extraction site big enough to get tumor out.
? Rinse abdomen, instruments and wound with 1:9 betadine?
