Dear Editor,We read the manuscript of Qiu et al.1 with great interest. The 33 instances of biliary leak are difficult to understand for a technique that usually follows a dissection plane resulting from compression of the liver parenchyma duringgrowth of the haemangioma. This plane is avascular, and no biliary ducts are present. In the manuscript, no explanation is provided for this complication by the authors.

Does follow-up offer the best quality of life for patients affected by so-called 'giant' haemangiomas of the liver?

Abstract

Dear Editor,We read the manuscript of Qiu et al.1 with great interest. The 33 instances of biliary leak are difficult to understand for a technique that usually follows a dissection plane resulting from compression of the liver parenchyma duringgrowth of the haemangioma. This plane is avascular, and no biliary ducts are present. In the manuscript, no explanation is provided for this complication by the authors.
