Surgical and Oncologic Outcomes After Major Liver Surgery and Extended Hemihepatectomy for Colorectal Liver Metastases

Abstract

Micro-Abstract Extensive liver surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is frequently performed, but data on the outcomes of these complex surgical procedures are scarce. Here we report surgical and oncologic outcomes for 117 patients who underwent major liver surgery at a Dutch tertiary referral center. Major hepatic resection is associated with considerable postoperative morbidity and mortality, but it can provide significant long-term survival for patients with CRLM.
