Hello! Intrahepatic gallstones, if localized, infectious, multiple bile duct abscesses, and focal atrophy of the liver, are indicated to remove that part of the liver. If true, only the atrophy of the posterior segment of the liver can be removed and is safe.
If you still have questions about the issue of “bile duct stones, will the posterior segment of the liver atrophy if removed, will it affect later? “You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more advice.
