Studies published in 2010 and thereafter that provided the denominator of patients initially treated (i.e. initial number of patients who underwent hepatectomy) were included.

Clavien grade II+ complications.

Percentage of patients with >1 metastases.

§Percentage of patients with metastases >5 cm.

Clavien grade III+ complications.
