The treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stones primarily requires surgery to remove the stones, relieve obstruction, and correct deformities. Generally, there is no need to remove the liver. However, if the liver has a tumor, or if intrahepatic bile duct stones are accompanied by liver fibrosis or even liver atrophy, partial liver lobe resection can be considered. For asymptomatic patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones, temporary observation and follow-up are feasible.
