Are intrahepatic bile duct stones easy to remove?

It is not easy. Hepatic bile duct stones are prone to residual stones after surgery, with an incidence of up to 20%-40%. The rate of residual stones after surgery has decreased significantly in recent years, but there is still a certain rate of residual stones after surgery due to some bile duct strictures that are difficult to correct at once and bile duct bleeding during stone extraction.
