Factors influencing survival of patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal metastases

The extent of surgical margin is still a matter of controversy with regard to outcome after liver resection for metastatic disease. The aim of this study was to clarify the significant prognostic factors after hepatectomy for colorectal metastases, with special reference to the surgical margin.
