Brief Summary

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver.For huge liver hemangioma, however, it need to use the conventional radiofrequency ablation can increase one-time ablation volume of radiofrequency electrode or enhance ablation power and extend the melting time, not only bring patients suffering discomfort, but easy to damage the adjacent organs, causing serious complications such as hemorrhage, perforation of gastrointestinal tract,acute renal failure .Therefore, the investigators have developed a new, standardized radiofrequency ablation for giant hepatic hemangioma to shorten the duration of treatment, reduce surgical complications and improve the surgical success rate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the new radiofrequency ablation (" three-step "radiofrequency ablation) in the treatment of giant hepatic hemangioma.

Procedure: radiofrequency ablation

Three-step radiofrequency ablation group

EXPERIMENTAL

After destroying the main blood supply of the tumor, extracting the blood in the tumor, reducing the blood flow in the tumor and shrinking the tumor volume, the remaining tumor was then treated with radiofrequency ablation, namely the "three-step" radiofrequency ablation with "one block, two inhalation and three damages".
