Comparative study of laparoscopic versus open technique for simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and liver metastases with propensity score analysis.

Laparoscopic colorectal resection with simultaneous resection of liver metastases showed satisfactory oncologic outcomes with some short-term advantages compared to the open approach. Thus, laparoscopic approach could be a good alternative of open approach for simultaneous liver and colon resection in patients with CRC.
