Outcomes of surgery for giant hepatic hemangioma

Abstract Background The surgical indications for liver hemangioma remain unclear. Methods Data from 152 patients with hepatic who underwent hepatectomy between 2004 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. We analyzed characteristics including tumor size, parameters, variables associated Kasabach–Merritt syndrome compared the outcomes of laparoscopic open hepatectomy. Here, we describe techniques giant report on two meaningful cases. Results Most (63.8%) asymptomatic. (86.4%) tumors larger than 15 cm. Enucleation (30.9%), sectionectomy (28.9%), hemihepatectomy (25.7%), removal more half (14.5%) performed through (87.5%) (12.5%) approaches. Laparoscopic is an operative time, estimated blood loss, major morbidity mortality rate similar to those hepatectomy, but a shorter length stay. 3D image reconstruction alternative diagnosis planning partial Conclusion main indication surgery (> 10 cm) hemangioma, or without symptoms. was effective option treatment. For extremely hemangiomas, indispensable. Hepatectomy should be by experienced surgeons.
