Abstract
There is debate on the technique of surgery on liver
hemangiomas in terms of liver parenchymal resection
and enucleation through the hemangioma capsule.
There is no randomized study yet to compare both techniques.
It seems to us that preoperative hepatic arterial
embolization and enucleation is a reasonable combination
instead of embolization plus the formal liver
resection. Selective embolization does not decrease the
arterial supply of the line of the formal resection and it
may even relatively increase the arterial supply of the
remaining liver. This hypothesis may explain the more
blood loss in the cases of preoperative selective hepatic
arterial embolization combined with the formal hepatic
resection.
