Cavernous Hemangioma Resection

Cavernous hemangioma of the liver is a more common benign tumor of the liver. With the widespread application of imaging diagnostic technology, the rate of clinical discovery is also increasing. Small hemangiomas generally have no obvious symptoms; larger hemangiomas can produce hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice; giant hemangiomas can appear symptoms such as anemia and heart failure. A small number of patients may have spontaneous or traumatic rupture, causing massive bleeding in the abdominal cavity, and even death. Surgical methods include: lobectomy, extracapsular ablation, hemangiomas, and hepatic artery ligation. Where hemangiomas have limited growth and occupy one leaf or half of the liver, regular hepatic lobes or hepatectomy can be performed. Hepatoma ligation can be performed on patients with unclear boundaries of hemangiomas that affect most of the liver. Hemangiomas with a diameter of 5 to 10 cm, regardless of solitary single or multiple cases, can be performed with hemangioma banding or extracapsular hemangioma ablation.
