New clinical pathological classification and treatment system for hepatolithiasis

Hepatolithiasis is a complex disease with extensive lesions. There are currently many clinical classifications available. However, these classifications cannot accurately reflect the pathological changes and degree of hepatolithiasis, and are not conducive to communication. Various methods are used for treatment of hepatolithiasis, but they are often misused. We tried to establish a new HLDO classification based on the clinicopathological characteristics of hepatolithiasis and a treatment system based on this classification, so as to comprehensively and accurately describe the pathological changes and degree, scientifically and reasonably treat it, and reduce its residual stone rate and recurrence rate.
