The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of video-assisted total thoracoscopic approach. The secondary aim was to assess the short-term outcomes associated with this technique.<h4>Methods</h4>Patients undergoing a video-assisted total thoracoscopic resection of CRLM between 2016 and 2020 at the Amphia Hospital were included. Retrospective assessment of complication rate, conversion rate, postoperative outcomes (radicality of resection) and short-term oncological outcomes (disease-free survival) was performed.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 15 patients were included in the study. In 14 patients a totally transthoracic liver resection was performed. A wedge resection was not feasible in 1 patient due to difficult anatomy, this patient underwent an ablation. Peri-operative and short- and long-term outcomes are comparable to abdominal laparoscopic liver resections. No postoperative deaths were observed within 90 days.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The video-assisted total transthoracic approach is a safe and feasible option for posterosuperior liver metastasis surgery and further studies are warranted to assess the long-term outcomes of this approach.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"40834691","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4413154162","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.0,"citation_percentile":0.22641774,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/legal/tdmrep-license","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0748798325008170?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0748798325008170?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejso.2025.110389","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40834691","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment and Prognosis","Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment","Intraperitoneal and Appendiceal Malignancies"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Aged","Feasibility Studies","Female","Hepatectomy","Humans","Liver Neoplasms","Male","Middle Aged","Laparoscopy","Postoperative Complications","Retrospective Studies","Colorectal Neoplasms","Disease-Free Survival","Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted"],"keywords":["Resection","Metastasis","Medicine","Colorectal cancer","General surgery","Internal medicine","Surgery","Cancer","Total Transthoracic Laparoscopic Liver Surgery"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-09T12:13:56.176107Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
