Core Tip	Resection of colorectal liver metastases has shown to prolong survival. Proper selection of patients who would benefit most from such a major procedure is crucial. Past contraindications are continuously being challenged. At present the only requirement is the anticipation of acquiring a negative margin and an adequate future liver remnant. Extrahepatic metastases are considered based on site and controllability. The use of preoperative chemotherapy in resectable disease remains an area of controversy. This article reviews the preoperative selection of patients for colorectal liver metastasectomy.
