Laparoscopic Ultrasound Resection Enhances Survival in Colorectal Liver Metastases

Laparoscopic ultrasound-guided resection and microwave ablation significantly improve patient outcomes for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). In a study of 300 patients, the technique effectively reduced complications and enhanced survival when compared to traditional imaging methods. Notably, intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound with Sonazoid emerged as an independent prognostic factor, underlining its clinical relevance in surgical oncology. This innovative approach could transform therapeutic strategies for patients facing limited options.
