Multidisciplinary strategies are commonly used to treat liver metastases of various origins, especially colorectal cancer. Progress in surgical techniques and the use of appropriate devices have opened the fields for a laparoscopic approach to increasingly complex procedures, like liver resection. Patients benefit from shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain, reduced postoperative morbidity and better cosmetic results. According to a meta-analysis, delaying initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative surgery for stage III colorectal cancer was associated with a statistically significant decrease in overall survival. It is tempting to assume that these results may be assignable to metastatic disease. Therefore, laparoscopic liver resection offers a substantial contribution to multimodal treatment of liver metastases.
