In East Asia, the association between cholangiocarcinoma and hepatolithiasis is well recognized, but, on the contrary, hepatolithiasis is uncommon in Europe and the United States, and the relationship with cholangiocarcinoma is not well established. The goal of this study was to analyze the perioperative and longterm results of surgical therapy for hepatolithiasis. | lld:pubmed |
