Core Tip	The treatment of hepatolithiasis is still a great challenge for surgeons. The residual and recurrent calculi are two major difficulties. This study introduces a new technique for hepatolithiasis and describes its two advantages. The first is that the sphincter of Oddi is preserved and it prevents intestinal reflux, which decreases the postoperative cholangitis rate; the second is that the subcutaneous tunnel is a minimally invasive approach for residual and recurrent stones that avoids reoperation. In selected cases, the operation can be completed via laparoscopy, and this technique is simple and safe.
