Abstract: Hepatolithiasis is a benign disease but seriously threatening human health. The academician Huang Zhiqiang came up with the therapeutic principle of “Relieve obstruction,Remove lesions, Build unobstructed drainage” for the disease. He kept emphasizing that removal of lesions is the key link in the treatment of hepatolithiasis, and advocating to earlier diagnosis, earlier surgical resection, less bilioenteric anastomosis. Until today, numerous hepatobiliary surgeons treat hepatolithiasis following his principle. We could get a better  understanding and comprehension to the academician Huang′s outstanding contribution for biliary surgery through reading his discussion of therapeutic principle for hepatolithiasis. The academician  Huang deserves the title of the Father of Chinese Biliary Surgery.
