Laparoscopic subtotal reconstituting cholecystectomy in type II & III Mirizzi syndrome: Case series of 5 patients.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Mirizzi syndrome Type II & III treatment is a true surgical challenge. The purpose was to determine whether the laparoscopic subtotal reconstituting cholecystectomy can be a safe and effective approach in our institution to treat Mirizzi Syndrome type II and III.

CASE PRESENTATION:

We report a case series of 5 patients with Mirizzi syndrome type II and III who underwent laparoscopic subtotal reconstituting cholecystectomy.

DISCUSSION:

We found only one patient had presurgical diagnosis, average surgical time of 218 min, average surgical bleeding of 230 ml and the mean hospital stay of 3.4 days; one patient presented low volume and auto limited biliary leak; no cases presented biliary injury, major complications, or reintervention.

CONCLUSIONS:

Laparoscopic subtotal reconstituting cholecystectomy is a security and effective technique to treat type II and III Mirizzi syndrome in our context.
