Key result
Enucleation of giant liver hemangiomas resulted in a median operative blood loss of 800 mL, with one patient requiring reoperation for postoperative hemorrhage.
Why the study?
Does enucleation safely treat giant hemangiomas of the liver while preserving normal hepatic parenchyma?
Observational (n=10)
Does enucleation safely treat giant hemangiomas of the liver while preserving normal hepatic parenchyma?
Enucleation is a viable procedure for giant liver hemangiomas that allows resection with reduced blood loss and preservation of normal hepatic parenchyma.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Biopsy risks hemorrhage in suspected giant liver hemangiomas; leaves open resection indications for symptomatic or atypical lesions.
Baer et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Giant cavernous hemangiomas of the liver (n=10). Enucleation or enucleation plus resection was evaluated on Operative blood loss and postoperative hemorrhage. Enucleation of giant liver hemangiomas resulted in a median operative blood loss of 800 mL, with one patient requiring reoperation for postoperative hemorrhage.
