The surgery for these patients has a high rate of residual stones, stones recurrence, morbidity and reoperation. So,in order to generate an appropriate management strategy,the patient's biliary system, vascular system, liver anatomy and function must be accurately and fully evaluated. And it should be based on the attainable treatment goals and the severity of the patient's condition. The surgical treatment should be carefully considered. The invasive technology of removing obstruction and controlling infection should be the first choice for those patients who can' t reach the "three principles" of hepatolithiasis therapy. And the liver transplantation should be recommended to those inthe end-stage of cirrhosis.
