Core Tip	There are no definitive guidelines for managing metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) to the liver. Liver ablation is often used as an adjunct to surgical resection; however its effect on perioperative outcomes is unknown. In this retrospective National Surgical Quality Improvement Program study, patients undergoing liver ablation in conjunction with surgical resection were compared to patients undergoing hepatectomy alone. The aim of the study was to determine if ablation during hepatectomy increases the risk of adverse perioperative outcomes such as surgical site infections, bile leaks, and bleeding. We demonstrate that ablation is safe and does not increase the risk of adverse peroperative outcomes in patients undergoing hepatectomy for NET liver metastasis.
