Core Tip	Open resection of primary colorectal tumor and liver metastasis in one operation or in separate operations is currently common practice but synchronous resections of the same by laparoscopy are controversial. Since open resection of primary colorectal tumor and liver metastasis in one operation results in an equally good short-term outcome when compared with that done in separate operations, laparoscopic resection of the same in one single operation seems to be a good option. Recent evidence has shown that this new approach is a safe alternative with a shorter hospital stay. Large scale randomized controlled trials are needed to demonstrate its effectiveness.
