Table 2.

Major and secondary surgical treatments were performed simultaneously for metastatic neuroendocrine tumours to the liver (n= 172)

Major operative interventions n %
Trisectionectomy (extended hepatectomy) 22 12.8%
Hepatectomy 49 28.5%
Bisegmentectomy/sectionectomy (partial hepatectomy) 34 19.8%
Segmentectomy 21 12.2%
Wedge resection 14 8.1%
RFA alone 18 10.5%
Cholecystectomy without resection 1 0.6%
No hepatic intervention 13 7.5%
Secondary interventions
Wedge resection 17 9.9%
RFA 23 13.4%
Segmentectomy 17 9.9%

Secondary procedures typically managed contralateral lesions not encompassed in the simultaneous major resection because of location or expected final liver volume. An additional 34 patients (19.8%) also underwent a prophylactic cholecystectomy to prevent chemical cholecystitis from future treatments, such as transarterial embolization.
