Findings from a nationwide analysis revealed that achieving a modified textbook outcome (MTO) after surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) was associated with better overall survival (OS). Out of 6,525 eligible patients, 81% achieved MTO. Between 2014 and 2018, patients achieving MTO had a 5-year OS of 46.7% compared to 33.7% in non-MTO patients. Not achieving MTO was linked to worse OS. The study emphasizes the importance of improving perioperative care and reducing postoperative complications in the surgical treatment of CRLM.
