Core Tip

Core Tip: With the development of surgical technique and new intervention including transcatheter arterial embolization and radiofrequency ablation used in liver surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications has been significantly decreased, however, the treatment of hepatic hemangioma still needs to consider the balance of benefit and risk, surgical indications for hepatic hemangioma remain unclear. Here, we evaluate a clinical grading system for management of hepatic hemangioma based on our 17 years of experience. The clinical grading system combined with the individual situation of patients could be helpful to select the most appropriate treatment for these lesions.
