Cholangiocarcinoma Risk as Long‐term Outcome After Hepatic Resection in the Hepatolithiasis Patients

Abstract

Hepatic resection for hepatolithiasis is considered to have a limited value in preventing cholangiocarcinoma and the patients should be carefully followed even after hepatic resection. A combination of different treatment modalities is necessary to decrease the residual stone and improve the outcome of the patients with hepatolithiasis.
