Doctors have learned to treat a liver tumor in a new way

The Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1 regularly introduces new methods, which make it possible to treat diseases more effectively and with less risk. So, in 2017, for the first time in the Tyumen region, the doctors conducted two operations on a new technique - embolization of liver hemangiomas.

Embolization of the liver hemangioma is an effective low-traumatic method of treating a benign liver tumor. Its essence lies in the fact that through the vessel "are selected" to the tumor and overlap its blood supply and supply with nutrients.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia. With the help of contrasting, special intravascular catheters are conducted into the arterial vessels of the liver that feed the hemangioma. After the blood flow through these vessels is blocked, and the hemangioma decreases in size and stops its growth.

This technique is an alternative to abdominal surgery. The advantage of the procedure is that if a large number of vascular nodes are diagnosed in the liver, embolization is a good option for getting rid of them. Since large areas are resected, there are high risks. But when carrying out such a low-traumatic operation, the risks are minimized. It also makes it possible to prevent further growth of other serious diseases
