In Surgery, a Tangled Tumor Meets Its Match

Alex di Suvero for The New York Times

HOURS TO GO Dr. Tomoaki Kato in glasses and his team at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia operated last week on a 59-year-old Wisconsin man with a cancerous tumor.

Published: December 14, 2009

At noon on Wednesday, after 26 hours of surgery, a team of doctors in New York finally managed to remove Robert Collison’s liver. The only thing harder would be putting it back into him.

A huge cancerous tumor in the back of Mr. Collison’s abdominal cavity had attached itself to his liver and engulfed other organs and blood vessels. Chemotherapy and radiation had not fazed it. He lives near Milwaukee, and doctors there said the tumor was inoperable and would kill him. But Mr. Collison, 59, with five children and nine grandchildren, was not ready to give up.

“I can’t leave yet,” he said in an interview the night before his operation. “I’ve got too much fun ahead of me.”

He had come to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center to be treated by Dr. Tomoaki Kato, one of the few surgeons willing to take on such difficult, risky cases. Dr. Kato is an expert in ex vivo resection — taking out organs and operating on them outside the body to remove tumors that cannot be treated in any other way, and then sewing the organs back in. The procedures are grueling surgical marathons that can easily last 30 hours or more, involve a dozen surgeons and anesthesiologists and cost more than $300,000.

you can youtube him talking about how he got some gum company to pay for a lot of the vids as viral action... then he just kept hoing out to other people who wanted a dancing fat ass to rep them... he actually seemed pretty cool in the vid i saw... him talking at some college or something. long as hell, but worth a check out to run away from when you get the idea... he started out pure, but now its all about travling and dancing and being a shill.
