Microsurgical technique in resection of hemangioma in infants.

A microsurgical dissection technique for residual strawberry marks applied to patients 6 years of age or older (a total of 7 cases) resulted in minimal bleeding during the operations. Therefore, the same technique was used for patients aged 4 months through 3 years and 4 months. The latter 8 patients had a minimal amount of intraoperative bleeding (no tourniquet was applied to the upper arm case), direct skin closure of the wound, and no postoperative complications.
