title: [Treatment of huge hemangioma with intervention-embolism and circumferential suture maneuver].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To demonstrate the effectiveness of operative resection for patients with huge hemangioma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eight cases were adopted in this study, including 5 males and 3 females. Among them, 5 cases with hemangioma on the face and neck, 1 case on the back, 1 case on the buttock, and 1 case on the leg. The maximal size of the hemangioma was 31.2 cm x 9.1 cm and the minimal size was 27.3 cm x 6.0 cm. Before operation, angiography was taken to find out the size of tumor. During operation, intervention-embolism and circumferential suture were carried out to control bleeding so that resection of tumor was practicable.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There had been successful result in all the cases with huge hemangioma. No recurrence were found with following up 8 months to 4 years(averaged 13 months).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Angiography of the hemangioma is important in providing the informations for the operation design. The intervention-embolism and circumferential suture can control and reduce the bleeding in operation. Combine of these techniques is essential for the treatment of huge hemangioma.
