Postoperative drug treatment combining Chinese and Western medicine is required. The principles of surgical treatment are:

(1) Remove as many stones as possible during surgery and relieve bile duct stenosis.

(2) Complete the internal drainage of the choledochojejunostomy to ensure the patency of the bile duct outflow pathway.

(3) Resection of infectious lesions within the liver. For example, if the lesions are localized on the left side of the liver, left hepatic lobectomy can be performed.

2. Litholytic therapy: After surgery, various litholytic drugs such as methyl tert-butyl ether, caprylic acid glycerol, dextrorotatory limonene, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-acetylcysteine, etc. can be infused through the indwelling T-tube to dissolve residual stones.
