Core Tip
Core Tip: Surgery is the primary treatment for hepatolithiasis. Although surgical methods are effective, increasing incidence and postoperative recurrence have become one of the complications in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatolithiasis. Therefore, understanding cholesterol metabolism and dietary and drug interventions to prevent the occurrence and development of hepatolithiasis are important.
