Bilobar versus unilobar multiple colorectal liver metastases: a propensity score analysis of surgical outcomes and recurrence patterns.
Bilobar multiple colorectal liver metastases (MCLM) are often considered incurable or associated with a poor prognosis even after R0 resection. This study was designed to compare the long-term outcomes and recurrence patterns after one-stage resection in patients with bilobar versus unilobar MCLM. ⋯ The clearance of bilobar MCLM by one-stage resection of parenchymal-sparing intent provided comparable long-term survival to unilobar MCLM.
