Minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic versus open hepatic resection for NEN liver metastasis: Case matched study with propensity score matching

#3561

Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery has been widely considered as feasible and safe option in liver resection. However, little is known about the impact in the surgical therapy of NEN liver metastasis.

Aim(s): To compare perioperative and short-term outcome after liver resection for neuroendocrine liver metastasis.

Materials and methods: 275 patients underwent hepatic resection for NEN liver metastases, 70 of them minimal invasive. To overcome selection bias, a 1:1 match by propensity score matching (PSM) between open (OLS) and minimal invasive liver surgery (MLS) was performed. Follow-up was 1 year.
