Caroli disease is a rare inherited disease characterized by intra and extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The disease is associated with the formation of stones in the biliary tract. The authors in their work present their own group of 5 patients with this disease. They retrospectively processed the data on patients with Caroli disease who were treated at the Department of Transplant and Vascular Surgery UNM and JLF UK Martin, in the period from 2005 to 2010 and present their experience with surgical treatment of this disease. According to their own experience, the authors recommend resection surgical treatment as potentially curative method of treating patients with Caroli disease.
