Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of hemangioma stripping and hepatectomy in the treatment of patients with hepatic hemangioma and to evaluate the infleunce of the two surgical treatment on perioperative indicators, postoperative complications and prognosis. Methods A total of 58 patients with hepatic hemangioma were recruited in our hospital between January 2019 and June 2020, out of them, 31 patients were treated with hemangioma stripping and 27 patients were treated with hepatectomy. All patients were followed-up for 6 months. The perioperative indicators, postoperative complications and postoperative recurrence of tumor were recorded in the two groups. Results The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative abdominal drainage volume and postoperative hospital stay in hemangioma stripping-treated patients were (120.6±25.4)min, (389.3±53.8)mL, (264.5±55.7)mL and (13.9±2.4)d, all significantly shorter or less than [(148.1±28.9)min, (468.2±59.2)mL,(321.8±63.4)mL and (15.8±3.3)d, respectively, P<0.05] in patients receiving hepatectomy; the post-operational complications, such as intraperitoneal hemorrhage, bile leakage and pleural effusion in hemangioma stripping-treated patients was significantly lower than in patients receiving hepatectomy (6.5% vs. 35.0%, P<0.05); six months after operation, all hepatic hemangioma in the two groups disappeared without recurrence; five days after surgery, serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels in hemangioma stripping-treated patients were (71.3±15.3)U/L and ((49.1±9.3)U/L, both significantly lower than [(82.9±16.8)U/L and (57.3±11.2)U/L, respectively, P<0.05] in hepatectomy-treated patients. Conclusion Hemangioma stripping and hepatectomy are both effective and safe in treating patients with hepatic hemangioma, However, hemangioma stripping has some advantages in reducing trauma and shortening postoperative recovery time. The two surgical approaches have their own indications, and the surgeons might choose the appropriate surgery for the optimal efficacy.
