Background Current evidence supports the curative resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver and lung metastases in selected patients.1,2This video shows simultaneous left colectomy, bilobar liver resection, and lung metastasectomy via a transdiaphragmatic approach for stage IV colorectal cancer.3 Patient A 57-year-old man with a stage IV colonic adenocarcinoma was considered for simultaneous resection of primary, liver, and lung metastases without thoracic incision.

Abstract
Background Current evidence supports the curative resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver and lung metastases in selected patients.1,2This video shows simultaneous left colectomy, bilobar liver resection, and lung metastasectomy via a transdiaphragmatic approach for stage IV colorectal cancer.3 Patient A 57-year-old man with a stage IV colonic adenocarcinoma was considered for simultaneous resection of primary, liver, and lung metastases without thoracic incision. The tumor mutational status wasKRAS,NRAS,andBRAFwild-type, and the patient underwent preoperative chemotherapy. Technique After performing a midline laparotomy, atypical liver resection of segments 8/4a was performed under the guidance of intraoperative ultrasonography and intermittent Pringle maneuver using the two-surgeon's technique. A small capsular lesion in segment 3 also was intraoperatively detected and resected. Lung metastasectomy of the right lower lobe was performed via a transdiaphragmatic approach using an endoscopic stapler. Sigmoid colectomy with transanal circular-stapled anastomosis was performed. Duration of surgery and blood loss were 358 min and 400 ml, respectively. Histopathological examination showed metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma with negative surgical margins and final stage was T3N2aM1b. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 6 without complication. He was alive and free of disease at 90-day follow-up. Conclusions Simultaneous colon, liver, and lung resection via a transdiaphragmatic approach is a feasible and safe surgical strategy in selected patients with peripheral lung metastases and favorable tumor biology.4This surgical strategy avoids thoracic incision, multiple operations, and may reduce the healthcare costs and the recovery time to early implement postoperative therapy.
