Chemotherapy-associated liver injuries (CALI) have been associated with poor postoperative outcome after open liver resection. To date, no data concerning any correlation of CALI and laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) are available. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of CALI on short-term outcomes in patients undergoing LLR. All patients who underwent in our department LLR for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) from 2000 to 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided in 4 groups according to their pathological histology. In group 1 patients had normal liver parenchyma. Group 2 included patients with steatosis and steatohepatitis. Patients with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) and nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) were allocated to group 3, whereas the remaining with fibrosis and cirrhosis, were assigned to group 4. A total of 490 LLR for CRLM were included in the study. Perioperative details and morbidity did not differ significantly between the four groups. Subgroup analysis showed that NRH was associated with higher amount of blood loss (p = 0.043), overall (p = 0.021) and liver-specific morbidity (p = 0.039). NRH is a severe form of CALI that may worsen the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing LLR for CRLM. However, the remaining forms of CALI do not have a significant impact on perioperative outcomes after LLR.
