Liver hemangioma/liver resection

Posted by phillrachel @phillrachel, Oct 26, 2017

I have been referred to mayo for a giant liver hemangioma to discuss liver resection surgery. Has anyone had a liver resection? Just curious how the Mayo process goes and the surgery.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

@sheikham1 - I join Lisa in extending a welcome to you. I am unfamiliar with the condition-liver hemangioma, but I have experienced liver transplant surgery at Mayo Clinic Rochester. I would be happy to share any information from my own experience if that might be helpful to you.

I want to resend you the link that Lisa included in her message.

Hi, @sheikham1 - I wanted to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad to hear you are coming to Mayo Clinic for your surgery.

I thought you might like to meet some others who have talked about liver hemangioma, like @phillrachel @meg4434 @donna38, so they can offer some thoughts on the condition and your upcoming surgery. @rosemarya has experience with liver-related surgery - transplant - at Mayo Clinic, and may have some thoughts for you. My own father-in-law had liver surgery at Mayo Clinic as well (related to metastases from neuroendocrine cancer), with wonderful results.

While we wait for others to join the conversation, I thought this Mayo Clinic information on liver hemangioma might be useful: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/liver-hemangioma/symptoms-causes.

How are you feeling about your upcoming surgery, @sheikham1?

@sheikham1, I want to drop in to say that I hope you are doing okay with your waiting for surgery. Have your sisters learned if they will be able to come to be with you?
