However, giventhe interest of the authors insight, it appears misleading when related to that discussed in our report which was clearly referred toother patients' profiles. Indeed, they described a case with a singleperipheral nodule in the right lung and a single liver metastasesin segment 5. This uncommon situation (less than 2% of patientsaccording to the LiverMetSurvey registry [2]), is obviouslya more than reasonable indication for a mini-invasive approach.However, our patients received surgery for complex oncological involvementof the liver: as described, this means large and/or multiplelesions, in contact or invading the hepatic veins at caval confluence.For such conditions we have introduced original surgicalapproaches [3,4]: in such conditions we would select a J-shapedthoracophrenolaparotomy for the liver per se [5]. This incision forsuch complex conditions other than allowing the liver clearance in a single operation rather than in staged approach [6], allows justin case the removal of lung nodules. Therefore, we thank again theauthors for their interest to our report, and furthermore we congratulatefor the original management of the shared clinical case.However, the condition recalled by the authors is related to a scenariooncologically and surgically at the opposite side of that discussedin our paper and for that somehow suggesting a comparisonis misleading.展开更多
