Research progress of clinical classification of hepatolithiasis
Hepatolithiasis has the clinical characteristics of high rates of residual and recurrent stones after operation,so many patients are hard to recover and undergo multiple operations.The clinical classification based on the key points of diagnosis and treatment is helpful for comprehensive evaluation of surgical points and reasonable selection of surgical methods,which helps to improve the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of hepatolithiasis,reduce the residual and recurrent stones,and improve the overall therapeutic effect.This article focuses on the five key points of diagnosis and treatment of hepatolithiasis,including stone distribution,liver atrophy,bile duct stenosis,function of Oddi sphincter and liver reserve function,and summarizes and reviews the existing clinical classifications of hepatolithiasis in order to further improve the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of hepatolithiasis.
