Micro and minilaparotomy surgery in the treatment of Mirizzi's syndrome.

Abstract

The Mirizzi's syndrome presents a difficult surgical challenge because the dense adhesions and edematous inflammatory tissue cause distorsion of the normal anatomy in Calot's triangle, leading to a great risk of bile duct injury. Therefore, a controversial issue the surgical strategy for treatment of Mirizzi's syndrome since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the applicability of microlaparotomy cholecystectomy in the management of Mirizzi's syndrome.
