Hepatolithiasis is highly prevalent in Asia but rare in Western countries. However, the incidence of hepatolithiasis may be increasing in Western countries due to the increased rate of immigration from areas where hepatolithiasis is prevalent. There are many non-surgical treatments for hepatolithiasis, but surgical management remains the best curative treatment for some cases of hepatolithiasis. Surgical treatments can remove biliary stones and relieve stricture of the bile ducts. This review describes the indications for and the outcomes of surgical treatment of hepatolithiasis, including liver resection and liver transplantation.
肝内胆管结石在亚洲极为常见，但在西方国家却很罕见。然而，由于来自肝内胆管结石高发地区的移民率上升，西方国家肝内胆管结石的发病率可能正在增加。肝内胆管结石有许多非手术治疗方法，但对于某些肝内胆管结石病例，手术治疗仍然是最佳的治愈性治疗方法。手术治疗可以清除胆管结石并缓解胆管狭窄。本综述描述了肝内胆管结石手术治疗的适应症和结果，包括肝切除术和肝移植。
