Chinese name

Capillary and cavernous hemangioma resection

Indication

Bleeding, infection, or areas with functional impairment

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia or general anesthesia

Postoperative management

Prevent infections and watch for local bleeding

1.

1. Carefully consider and fully estimate the size of the hemangioma and its relationship with adjacent important tissues and organs, and develop a corresponding treatment plan.

2. For larger ones

1. Local anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia or general anesthesia.

2. Children can add the above anesthesia under basic anesthesia.

The incision should be slightly larger, and a spindle incision can also be made to fully expose the tissue surrounding the hemangioma. Blunt and sharp separation from normal tissues surrounding the hemangioma. Separate, ligate, and cut off the branches penetrating the fascial layer and the main blood vessels entering the tumor one by one, and carefully remove the tumor completely. Be careful not to damage the tumor, so as not to cause bleeding and increase the difficulty of surgery. The incision is sutured layer by layer. Skin defects should be skin grafted or flap repaired at the same time. The wound was bandaged and the limbs were properly fixed.

1. Hemangiomas must be completely removed to prevent recurrence. The condition of the disease should be estimated at any time during the operation. If a wide range of hemangiomas is found or it has penetrated into deep tissues and body cavities, and it is significantly different from the original treatment plan, it should be stopped immediately and the condition should be prepared for surgery or switched to other treatments. Otherwise, it cannot be completely removed and there is a risk of major bleeding.

2. The tube wall of cavernous hemangioma is very thin, and it is easy to be broken and cause bleeding. The main prevention method is not to cut the skin too deep to avoid damaging the tumor. It should be separated from the normal tissue around the tumor, and the blood vessels entering the tumor can be easily identified and ligated. Once the bleeding is caused by rupture, it can be stopped by sewing with a fine needle thread; if clamped with a hemostat, it will cause more bleeding.

Prevent infection and pay attention to local bleeding.
