    Mirizzi's syndrome, characterized by cystic duct stones, inflammation, and bile duct stenosis, requires careful diagnosis. Imaging like endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is crucial for planning surgical treatment, typically cholecystectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.
    • It involves a gallstone in the cystic duct or gallbladder neck causing extrinsic compression and stenosis of the common hepatic duct.

    Observation:

    • This report details three clinical cases of Mirizzi's syndrome.
    • Emphasis is placed on the diagnostic challenges and preoperative assessment strategies.

    Findings:

    • The syndrome classically presents with a triad of cystic duct stone, inflammatory reaction, and benign hepatic duct stenosis.
    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) are essential for accurate preoperative evaluation.

    Implications:

    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis using cholangiography is vital for surgical planning.

  • Cholecystectomy combined with common bile duct clearance is the recommended treatment approach.
  • Understanding Mirizzi's syndrome improves patient outcomes through timely and appropriate intervention.
