Treatment of liver cysts

Liver cyst is a common benign liver disease, which is mainly congenital and acquired. Now it is mainly caused by some congenital diseases of children, and acquired is mainly caused by some traumatic inflammation and tumors. Therefore, it is also a common disease in daily life. It is more common in middle-aged women. It will not affect liver function and will not develop into liver cancer. It is mainly checked regularly. If it grows too large and makes you feel uncomfortable, you can receive treatment.

The main treatment for serious injuries is surgery and some other treatments. Pay attention to adjusting your diet and make sure to eat some foods that improve immunity and eat more foods rich in vitamins in your life. Active prevention and care should be carried out in daily life. If a disease is discovered, it is necessary to conduct timely examination.

For isolated hepatic cysts, unless complications such as cyst rupture, cyst pedicle torsion or intracystic hemorrhage occur, emergency surgery should be performed. Otherwise, elective surgery should be scheduled based on the size and location of the cyst and the patient's general condition and subjective symptoms. Asymptomatic solitary liver cysts occasionally discovered during physical examinations can be temporarily treated conservatively and regularly observed using ultrasound examinations, and one needs to be vigilant against the occurrence of malignant transformation. It is best to perform surgical treatment for large liver cysts with symptoms, because conservative treatments such as puncture and fluid extraction are generally prone to recurrence and may bring bacterial contamination. Polycystic liver disease should usually be treated non-surgically. Since the lesions involve the entire liver, the disease cannot be cured unless a liver transplant is performed. However, once polycystic liver disease compresses the chest and abdomen due to liver enlargement and affects breathing and circulation, surgery should be considered to relieve pressure. The following surgical methods can be used according to specific conditions:

1. Liver resection;

2. Cyst excision;

3. Cyst fenestration or subtotal cyst resection;

4. Internal drainage of the cyst;

5. Cyst puncture, fluid extraction and sclerotherapy.

Surgery for polycystic liver disease: Unless the lesions are confined to one lobe of the liver and are accompanied by symptoms, or there is suspicion of malignancy, surgical treatment is generally not recommended. When individual cysts in polycystic liver disease are found to be growing rapidly, compressing adjacent organs, and seriously affecting the patient's daily life or cardiopulmonary function, repeated punctures and fluid extractions can be performed on the larger cysts. If the patient is in good general condition and has normal liver function, a fenestration surgery can be performed to relieve pressure, alleviate symptoms, and promote liver cell regeneration. Those who have the conditions can undergo liver transplantation to completely cure the disease.

The above is the treatment method for liver cysts. Due to its special nature, it will not affect liver function and will not develop into liver cancer. The main thing is to conduct regular check-ups. If it grows too large and makes you feel uncomfortable, you can receive treatment. That is, surgery for treatment and some.
