Partial hepatic resections for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors: perioperative outcomes
Partial hepatic resection reduces tumor burden in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, thereby improving quality and length of life. These procedures can be challenging as well as life-threatening. Our aim was to evaluate our patients' perioperative outcomes and propose a definition for an intraoperative carcinoid crisis relevant to this surgery, given its unique surgical considerations.
