Core Tip	Liver resection is the first choice for treating neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases. Due to the strict indications for hepatectomy, most patients with neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases are not suitable for hepatectomy. Ablation combined hepatectomy is an alternative treatment option. Here, this study analyzed the clinical effect of microwave ablation combined with hepatectomy in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases. The result shows that microwave ablation combined with hepatectomy not only makes the patients obtain a survival rate similar to that of patients undergoing hepatectomy, but also has a low incidence of postoperative complications.
