The Outcomes of Laparoscopic Hybrid Surgery Versus Totally Open Surgery

The Outcomes of Simultaneous Resection for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases by Laparoscopic Hybrid Surgery Versus Totally Open Surgery: a Prospective Cohort Study

Simultaneous colorectal cancer liver metastasis (SCRLM) is one of the risk factors for poor prognosis in colorectal cancer. Surgical resection of primary and metastatic lesions is the first choice of treatment for patients with resectable SCRLM. Simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases by totally open surgery (TOS) has been widely used. However, we propose that laparoscopic hybrid surgery (LHS) may have better short and long-term outcomes. This study aimed to compare the safety, short-term, and long-term efficacy of LHS versus TOS for patients with resectable SCRLMs.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Liver metastasis was detected while the colorectal cancer was diagnosed.
• Both the primary lesions and liver metastases were confirmed by postoperative pathological examination.
• Clinical data is complete.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with unresectable extrahepatic metastases.
• Patients with other malignant tumor diseases that have not been cured.
• Clinical and pathological data were missed or incomplete follow-up data.
