Efficacy of laparoscopic liver resection in colorectal liver metastases and the influence of preoperative chemotherapy

Efficacy of laparoscopic liver resection in colorectal liver metastases and the influence of preoperative chemotherapy

Since 1993, we have performed minimally invasive laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) to treat malignant liver cancer, including colorectal liver metastases (CLM). However, further studies are needed to accumulate sufficient evidence on the oncological outcome of LLR for CLM. To elucidate the efficacy...

Zusammenfassung:Since 1993, we have performed minimally invasive laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) to treat malignant liver cancer, including colorectal liver metastases (CLM). However, further studies are needed to accumulate sufficient evidence on the oncological outcome of LLR for CLM. To elucidate the efficacy of LLR for CLM, this study comparatively analyzed the invasiveness and short-term prognosis of LLR (n=43 cases) and open liver resection (OR) (n=62 cases) performed for CLM after 2006 and also investigated the safety of LLR following chemotherapy. Compared with the OR group, the LLR group had significantly less blood loss (P
