Assessment of resectability varied significantly between specialties, and resectability was often underestimated by nonhepatobiliary surgeons. Hepatobiliary referral was not considered in a substantial proportion of cases erroneously deemed unresectable. These disparities result largely from an imprecise understanding of modern surgical indications for resection of CRLMs.
