Core Tip	Hepatolithiasis (HL) is a complicated disease to treat and has few conveniently used clinical classifications. In this study, a new clinical classification for HL based on pathological evolution was introduced, which included HL types?Ⅰ-Ⅳ based on with (type Ⅱ) or without (type?Ⅰ) previous biliary tract surgery, with mass-forming lesion (type Ⅲ) or secondary biliary cirrhosis with portal hypertension (type Ⅳ). It is safely and conveniently used in our hospitals and patients can benefit from this classification when it is used properly.
