Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Mirizzi's syndrome involves cystic duct stones causing biliary obstruction, potentially with cholecysto-biliary fistula.
  • This condition presents diagnostic and management challenges due to its rarity and potential complications.

Observation:

  • The study reviews five cases of Mirizzi's syndrome, detailing diagnostic approaches and surgical outcomes.
  • Preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective management, utilizing ultrasonography, CT, and cholangiography.

Findings:

  • Minimizing dissection in the triangle of Calot is vital to prevent common bile duct injury.
  • Partial cholecystectomy is frequently the safest surgical approach.
  • Repair of common bile duct defects can be achieved through various methods.

Implications:
