Abstract: Objective To evaluate short-term and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic surgical resection and
interventional embolization in treatment of patients with hepatic hemangioma. Methods The cilinical data of
124 patients with hepatic hemangioma from March 2012 to March 2014 in our hospital were retrospectively
analyzed. All patients were divided into treatment group (48 cases) and control group (76 cases) according to
treatment method. Patients in control group were treated with laparoscopic resection and patients in treatment
group were treated with interventional embolization. The operation time, blood loss, the cost of treatment,
hospital stay and incidence rates of long-term and short-term complications were recorded and compared.
Results The operation time, blood loss, the cost of treatment, hospital stay and incidence rate of short-term
complications in treatment group were significantly lower than those of control group (P = 0.001, 0.023,
0.026, 0.034 and 0.043), and the incidence rate of long-term complications in control group was significantly
lower than that of treatment group (χ 2 = 0.846, P = 0.028). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgical resection and
interventional embolization had a good efficacy and little complications in treatment of patients with hepatic
hemangioma. Appropriate treatment should be chosen according to the actual situation of the patients.
