An original method, in emergency situation, to treat a ruptured hepatic hemangioma in a patient with liver cirrhosis and coagulation deficits was performed. An absorbable packing consisting of 2 layers of a hemostatic gauze as a first measure against the hemorrhage was used. It was then covered by an absorbable collagen tampon. To provide ultimate protection against further hemorrhage, this tampon was fixed with a surgical glue. Then, a sheet of peritoneum was attached to the liver surface around the rupture.

Abstract

An original method, in emergency situation, to treat a ruptured hepatic hemangioma in a patient with liver cirrhosis and coagulation deficits was performed. An absorbable packing consisting of 2 layers of a hemostatic gauze as a first measure against the hemorrhage was used. It was then covered by an absorbable collagen tampon. To provide ultimate protection against further hemorrhage, this tampon was fixed with a surgical glue. Then, a sheet of peritoneum was attached to the liver surface around the rupture. This approach led to an immediate and permanent arrest of the hemorrhage.
