Minimally invasive procedure Procedure for Hepatic Hemangioma

In fact, minimally invasive surgery is laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery. Both of them extend the surgical equipment into the abdominal cavity through a hole in the belly. Laparoscopic surgery is relatively long, with a lot of experience, relatively mature, and cheaper cost than robotic surgery. Because the liver is a blood -enriching organs, the risk of bleeding from liver surgery is relatively large, and the hemostasis of laparoscopy is relatively difficult. Therefore, laparoscopy (and robotics) of the liver starts late. However, in recent years, minimally invasive technology has made rapid progress. With the update of surgical equipment and materials and the accumulation of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopy (and robotics) has become more and more handy. Now, we have completed an ordinary laparoscopic liver cutting surgery. The surgery time and bleeding volume have been comparable to the traditional opening surgery, sometimes even shorter and less bleeding. This greatly reduces the trauma of surgery and the pain and discomfort of postoperative patients. Patients often can easily get out of bed and eat the next day. The liver function indicators after surgery are also significantly better than traditional surgery. The following figure is comparison of traditional liver surgical incisions and laparoscopic liver surgical incisions. It can be seen that laparoscopic surgical incision is significantly smaller than traditional surgery.

Of course, not all patients with hepatic hemangioma are suitable for minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery. After all, laparoscopic liver cutting surgery techniques are difficult, especially in the tail -shaped leaves, right posterior leaves and other parts of the hemangioma that is close to the first and secondary liver. The technical requirements are high and the risks are also large. Be cautious. At present, the proportion of laparoscopic liver cutting surgery in domestic liver surgery can only reach 20%to 30%. Most patients can only undergo traditional liver cutting surgery. But this can at least benefit some patients first, I believe that this proportion will continue to increase in the future.
