Core Tip	This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of three types of reoperative laparoscopic hepatectomy procedures in patientsfor with hepatolithiasis and a history of biliary surgery. Among the three procedures, reoperative laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (rLLLS) had the most favorable clinical outcomes, followed by reoperative laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (rLLH). However, reoperative laparoscopic complex hepatectomy (rLCH) had the lowest clinical value. The majority of clinical outcomes in rLLLS and rLLH patients were either superior or equivalent to those in the corresponding open procedures, while rLCH did not offer any advantages over the corresponding open surgery. Therefore, rLLLS and rLLH are recommended for these patients, while rLCH should be used with caution.
