After analysising 15 patients with portal hypertension (PHT) in secondary biliary cirrhosis due to hepatolithiasis, the authors consider that the surgical procedure depends on indivedual’s specificity: majority of patients with PHT but no hemorrhage may be treated by removing the hepatobiliary stone, resolving the bile duct stricture and then reconstructing it as the first step. Whether or not to dispose of PHT depended on the postoperative condition. If the patient had previous hemorrhage and is accompanied by severe obstructive jaundice, splenectomy with shunt and simple biliary external drainage is the choice and removal of stone with biliary tract reconstruction will be performed in the second stage. Meanwhile, it is very important to monitor perioperative condition of the patient and treat the complications.
