Abstract:
Hepatolithiasis is a common benign biliary disease in China. It is a challenge to treat hepatolithiasis. Some patients with complicated hepatolithiasis fail to achieve satisfactory outcomes after several biliary operations, and therefore, how to improve the treatment outcome of hepatolithiasis is a major problem for biliary surgeons. At present, surgery is still the main treatment method for hepatolithiasis. Percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL), as a minimally invasive surgical treatment for hepatolithiasis, has been accepted by many biliary surgeons and patients with hepatolithiasis and gradually gains a place in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. This article reviews the research advances in PTCSL in the treatment of hepatolithiasis.
