According to current data, in Europe and North America, primary colon carcinoma diseases are detected with a frequency of 60-75 cases per 100 thousand population. In Russia over the past 10 years, there are up to 40-46 thousand cases annually. Active surgical tactics in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer metastases in the liver can increase the overall survival time. The study showed that with the use of chemotherapy, the life expectancy of patients increases. Various options for complex treatment of patients with colorectal cancer metastases in the liver, especially with the use of endovascular and radiofrequency interventions, are relatively safe and effective, provided they are carried out in specialized oncological and coloproctological hospitals.

Longitudinal resection of the stomach is a relatively new type of gastroplasty within the framework of bariatric surgery, which is gaining popularity worldwide today not only as a method of getting rid of excess subcutaneous fat, but also from a range of serious chronic diseases together. The potential of longitudinal gastric resection turned out to be promising, and if the first performed longitudinal gastric resection in 1988 was only a restrictive stage of biliopancreotic bypass surgery, then since the 2000s, laparoscopic longitudinal resection has been started as a deliberately first stage in patients with morbid obesity with high operational risk. To date, longitudinal gastric resection has become increasingly used in particularly difficult cases in the form of independent surgical intervention, for example, in the elderly, teenagers, people with cirrhosis of the liver and other severe pathologies. At the initial stages of the formation of this type of treatment, different surgeons did not have a common opinion on many issues related to the technique of this operation. And therefore, to date, the data on the longitudinal resection of the stomach of many years ago are contradictory. They do not create a holistic view of the effectiveness of surgical intervention, especially in the long term. According to IFSO (The International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders) data, in 2012, longitudinal gastric resection accounted for 27.8% of all bariatric operations, which even then overtook the gastric banding operation in terms of the number of operations. Over the past 20 years, a little more than 250 thousand such operations have been performed worldwide, and the frequency of performing longitudinal gastric resection increases every year. The purpose of this article is to reveal the statistics of the effectiveness of longitudinal gastric resection.
