Intraoperative surgical margin re-resection for colorectal liver metastasis: is it worth the effort?
In the era of modern systemic chemotherapy, it seems that the impact of margin status on outcomes may be minimal compared to that of patient and tumor factors. In this scenario, margin re-resection to achieve R0 status does not improve long-term outcomes.
The AC displayed similar retention and clinical outcomes to those of the CP. However, the AC was inferior to the CP in motion stabilization, subsidence prevention, and fusion rate. Therefore, for patients who require strong postoperative motion stabilization, CPs rather than ACs should be used.
