BackgroundFor resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases, pre‐operative portal vein embolization (PVE) is used to increase the size of the future liver remnant (FLR) prior to advanced liver resection when indicated. PVE is speculated to cause tumour progression, but only a limited number of studies have analysed tumour growth after PVE in the context of pre‐procedural chemotherapy, which...
BackgroundChemotherapy before resection of colorectal metastases in the liver is extensively used and has been shown to induce histopathological changes in the liver parenchyma, although little is known about the effect of chemotherapy on liver regeneration. The aim of this study was to determine if pre‐operative chemotherapy influences the regenerated liver volume after a major liver resection.

Background Liver resection is a possibly curative treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases. Preoperative chemotherapy may make initially irresectable tumors resectable. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative course and short-term mortality after liver resection for CRC metastases between patients who were and were not treated with preoperative chemotherapy. Methods Patients...
Background: Fast‐track (FT) programmes represent a series of multimodal concepts that may reduce surgical stress and speed up convalescence after surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate FT programmes for patients undergoing hepatopancreatic surgery.
Methods: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies of FT vs. conventional recovery strategies for...
