We implement the finite-volume N/D representation to study two-baryon interactions from lattice QCD data. We include the left-hand cut induced by one-pion exchange in this formalism, and study the H-dibaryon at the SU(3)F-symmetric point, with a pion mass around 417 MeV. The N/D formalism is then compared to the L\"uscher quantization condition, used to describe the same system via effective-range expansions. The results show a mild but statistically significant effect produced by the inclusion of the left-hand cut, especially on the binding energy of the H-dibaryon.
