Benign obstruction of the common hepatic duct (Mirizzi syndrome): diagnosis and operative management

Abstract: The preoperative diagnosis of Mirizzi syndrome is difficult and an awarded suspicion is necessary to avoid lesions of the biliary tree. The problem may only become evident during the operation due to firm adherences around Calot's triangle. The success of the treatment is related to a precocious recognition of the condition, even at the time of surgery, and adapting the management considering to the individual characteristics of each case.

“…4G). Every attempt should be made to complete a thorough choledochoscopic bile duct exploration because concomitant choledocholithiasis is common in patients with MS [19,20]. Then, primary closure of the gallbladder remnant is performed on the aforementioned feeding tube for a leakage test and a CC (Figs.…”

“…La complejidad de los pacientes incluidos en el estudio, y el hecho de que el mayor porcentaje requirió cirugía de urgencia, condujo a tener como procedimiento convencional la colecistectomía por laparoscopia con cuatro puertos 27 . Entre los hallazgos operatorios, el más frecuente en cirugía por colelitiasis, urgente o programada, fue la colecistitis, presente en 43,5 % de las intervenciones; el síndrome de Mirizzi, como factor dentro del modelo aquí estudiado, alcanzó el 3,5 %, valor equiparable con las cifras reportadas en la literatura científica, de 0,05 a 4 % según la serie 20,28,29 . Cuando se inició el uso de la cirugía laparoscópica para la colelitiasis, se consideraba la inflamación aguda como una contraindicación para el abordaje laparoscópico debido a las tasas de conversión a laparotomía de hasta el 60 % (30) .…”
