[Method of treatment of volumetric liver masses].

The authors propose the mode of treatment of volumetric masses of the liver which provides possibility to perform ablastic and atraumatic removal of the tumor with prophylaxis of bleeding by creation of the coagulation pellicle in the bed of the removed tumor. The method is based on the rational combination of cryodestruction, mechanical excision and laser coagulation: evaporation by the disfocused laser beam of the frozen bed of the tumor after its cryodestruction and mechanical excision, the principles of the ablastics are being completely kept; at the surface of the hepatic tissue the coagulation scab is being formed. Bleeding and biliary leakage are absent. This is prophylaxis of abscess, fistulas and haematomas after surgery.
