Abstract
In selected patients, laparoscopic CSA is associated with survival rates which are similar to those after hepatic resection. In patients with a larger tumor burden, CSA offers a curative treatment to patients with otherwise a dismal prognosis and it improves survival as compared to patients receiving chemotherapy alone. However, the procedure is associated with substantial morbidity, particularly bleeding, and therefore careful patient selection is recommended.
