The electronic medical charts of patients with primary ovarian cancer who received CRS including left hemi-hepatectomy from 2000 to 2023 were reviewed and retrospectively analyzed. A total of 17 patients underwent left hemi-hepatectomy for resection of a deep peritoneal implant in the round ligament of the liver during primary CRS. Among these 17 patients, hepatic parenchymal invasion was confirmed in 10 patients (58.8%). Tumor distribution of others is as follows: Glisson\u2019s capsule, hilum, falciform ligament and gall bladder. Fourteen patients (82.4%) achieved CRS; the remaining three patients had residual tumors less than 1 cm. The median period to subsequent chemotherapy was 21 days (range, 12\u201335 days). No specific complications related to left hepatectomy were identified such as liver failure or bile leakage. Left hemi-hepatectomy for complete surgical resection of a deep peritoneal implant of the round ligament of the liver is surgically feasible and safe.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16173036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,2]],"date-time":"2024-09-02T07:59:40Z","timestamp":1725263980000},"page":"3036","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Left Hemi-Hepatectomy to Resect Metastatic Tumor of Round Ligament of Liver in Patients with Ovarian Cancer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1279-3701","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uisuk","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gynecologic Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae Kyung","family":"Bae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gynecologic Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junhwan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gynecologic Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4746-5572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji Hyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gynecologic Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7921-1801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Liver and Pancreatobiliary Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sung-Sik","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Liver and Pancreatobiliary Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyeong Min","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Liver and Pancreatobiliary Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sang-Yoon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gynecologic Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8964-7158","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Myong Cheol","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Gynecologic Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Rare & Paediatric Cancer Branch and Immuno-Oncology Branch, Division of Rare and Refractory Cancer, Research Institute, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Cancer Control and Policy, National Cancer Center Graduate School of Cancer Science and Policy, National Cancer Center, Goyang 10408, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2016.08.232","article-title":"Porta hepatis peritonectomy and hepato\u2013celiac lymphadenectomy in patients with stage IIIC\u2013IV ovarian cancer: Diagnostic pathway, surgical technique and outcomes","volume":"143","author":"Tozzi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Gynecol.
