So far, ALPPS (Associating liver and portal vein partition ligation for staged hepatectomy) operation has been performed only as an individual procedure in big specialized centers in developed countries. ALPPS is two-stage curative hepatectomy for which indication is inadequate, the so-called, future liver remnant (FLR). In the case report, we described the case of 63-year-old patient with verifi ed colorectal cancer and large metastases in the liver, to whom we conducted simultaneous resection of the rectal cancer and liver metastases using the ALPPS technique with good clinical results.
