Core Tip	This study primarily compared the clinical data of patients with hepatolithiasis with good and poor prognoses following hepatectomy, analyzed the factors influencing poor prognosis, and identified scientific and reasonable indicators of poor prognosis. The novelty of this study lies in evaluating the peripheral blood levels of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), albumin/alkaline phosphatase ratio (ALB/ALP), and total bilirubin (TBIL) levels after hepatectomy and analyzing their individual and combined predictive values for poor prognosis. Notably, the NLR, ALB/ALP, and TBIL levels demonstrated predictive value for poor prognosis following hepatectomy, with high combined predictive efficiency.
