 The aim of this study is to investigate the outcome of patients with colorectal liver metastases CLM undergoing multiple minor hepatectomies MMH instead of major hepatectomies MH. Indeed, the performance of MMH versus MH in patients with CLM is object of debate. For this purpose, the databases at two independent institutions were retrospectively reviewed. To control for confounding variable distributions, a propensity score-matched analysis 1:1 was performed, and the nearest neighbor-matching method with caliper distance of 0.01 was used. Among 554 patients, 110 patients undergoing MMH and 110 undergoing MH were matched. They were similar in baseline characteristics, comorbidities, features of the primary tumors, and CLM. Primary outcomes were short- and long-term outcome.
