title: Liver transplantation in patients with intrahepatic stones: report of two cases.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the feasibility and rationality of liver transplantation as an indication for patients with intrahepatic stones.
  
  
  METHODS
  Liver transplantation was successfully performed for a 28-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman, both with intrahepatic stones.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patient 1 had digestive tract bleeding on the postoperative day 6 and he was discharged from the hospital on the postoperative day 25. He is in good health 14 months after operation. Patient 2 also had hemorrhage from the digestive tract on the postoperative day 44 and a leakage of end-to-side intestinal anastomosis on the postoperative day 47. She has resumed her work and is in good health from the postoperative month 12.

  Liver transplantation is safe and effective for patients with intrahepatic stones.
