Keywords

Brief summary

The use of a simultaneous resection in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases has increased over the past decades. However, it remains unclear when a simultaneous resection is beneficial and when it should be avoided. The objective of this retrospective study is therefore to compare the outcomes of a simultaneous resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastases in different settings, and to assess which factors are independently associated with unfavorable outcomes.

Interventions

Major liver resection (3 or more contiguous segments)

PROCEDURETechnically major liver resection

Minor liver resection (\<3 contiguous segments) in the posterosuperior segments (segment 1,4a,7,8)
