[Hepatic hemangioma: the choice of treatment].

117 patients with hepatic hemangioma were treated. 17 patients were operated on with the use of laser and plasmic scalpel. The possibility and technical features of liver resections by hepatic hemangiomas are discussed. In 8 of 17 operated patients, endovascular hemangiomatous vessel occlusion was effective. Authors state the necessity of reduction of surgical treatment of hepatic hemangiomas and substantiate the need of dynamic observation of such lesions of the liver.
