Abstract
Background: In patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), intraoperative ablation is commonly utilized in combination with surgical resection to extend resectability. Intraoperative ablation can treat select lesions and allow the surgeon to maximize parenchyma preservation and leave the patient with a larger future liver remnant (FLR) during curative intent surgery. The purpose of the study was to compare liver specific disease-free survival (LS-DFS) in patients with multifocal CRLM who underwent curative-intent liver surgery and received either surgical resection (SR) alone versus surgical resection + intraoperative ablation (+IA).
