This study evaluates a surgical decision-support software designed to assist physicians in selecting the optimal surgical sequence for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. In this multicenter prospective simulation study, participating surgeons from multiple centers will review standardized clinical case scenarios. For each case, physicians will first make a surgical sequencing decision based on their own clinical judgment. They will then review the recommendation provided by the decision-support software and make a second decision if they choose to revise their initial plan. The study will assess whether the software influences clinical decision-making, including changes in surgical strategy, decision confidence, decision time, and agreement with software recommendations. Physician user experience will also be evaluated using standardized questionnaires, including system usability and cognitive workload scales. The goal of this study is to determine the clinical utility and usability of the decision-support software in improving surgical decision-making consistency and supporting clinical reasoning in colorectal liver metastases cases.
