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.
