[Diagnosis and surgical treatment of cavernous hemangioma of the liver].

Results of surgical treatment of cavernous liner hemangiomas in 47 patients have been analysed. In 7 cases the original method of surgery in unresectable liver hemangiomas was used. The method was designed by the authors of the article. The proper diagnosis of liver hemangiomas is possible in the specialized divisions only. Ultrasound examination, CT and laparoscopy play the major role in diagnosis. Anatomical liver resection is the major surgical method. In cases of unresectable hemangiomas the method of omento-hepatopexy with subsequent X-ray therapy is indicated.
