Impact of concurrent primary colorectal resection on postoperative infectious complications following hepatic thermal ablation for colorectal liver metastases: an ACS-NSQIP analysis.
BACKGROUND Surgical management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) often involves multi-organ interventions which elevate postoperative infectious risk. While thermal ablation is increasingly used as a parenchymal-sparing strategy, infectious risk when combined with colorectal resection is unclear. METHODS Adults i...
