Objective:

To evaluate and validate the definition of textbook outcome for laparoscopic liver surgery (TOLLS) and analyze factors related to its achievement, highlighting its significance in surgical quality assessment.

Key Findings:
  • A total of 421 patients were included, with a median age of 66 years and a median BMI of 25.6. Specific statistical results indicate that X% achieved TOLLS.
  • The majority of patients had an ASA score of 1 or 2.
  • Factors influencing TOLLS achievement were identified through statistical analysis, including X, Y, and Z.
Interpretation:

The study provides insights into the factors affecting the achievement of TOLLS in laparoscopic liver surgery, contributing to the ongoing discussion on quality assessment in surgical outcomes by identifying key performance indicators.

Limitations:
  • Single-center study may limit generalizability.
  • Potential biases in data collection and patient selection could affect the results.
Conclusion:

The study validates the TOLLS definition and identifies key factors influencing its achievement, highlighting the importance of composite outcomes in assessing surgical quality and suggesting areas for future research.
