ABSTRACT: Background
Resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with synchronous liver metastasectomy is still a matter of debate. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of synchronous resection of PDAC and liver metastases for curative intent at a high-volume surgical center.Methods
Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with synchronous liver metastasectomy (M1 resection group, n = 50) were matched 1 : 1 based on tumor and nodular stage, age, gender, body mass index and concomitant disease with two control groups (M0 resection and M1 no resection). The M0 resection group included patients who underwent PD without metastases. The M1 no resection group included patients with liver metastases who underwent palliative bypass or exploratory laparotomy without resect
