Treatment of Mirizzi Syndrome

December 15, 2020 updated by: Tecnologico de Monterrey

Single-operator Cholangioscopy and Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Mirizzi Syndrome: A Case Series

Mirizzi syndrome is an infrequent complication of long-standing cholelithiasis. Extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct is usually caused by an impacted stone in Hartmann's pouch or cystic duct resulting in the development of cholecystobiliary fistula. This syndrome is classified based on the presence and severity of cholecystobiliary fistula. Mirizzi syndrome is challenging to diagnose preoperatively and may require complex biliary surgical procedures for resolution. Endoscopic treatment is a safe alternative with a high success rate. Single-operator cholangioscopy combined with lithotripsy has been shown to have a 90-100% success rate in the treatment of biliary stones. Herein, A single center experience treating Mirizzi syndrome with single-operator cholangioscopy guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy is presented. Difficult management of Mirizzi syndrome has led to research of new treatment options to minimize the risk of high rate complications. Single-operator cholangioscopy in combination with laser lithotripsy is an adequate and safe alternative for the treatment of this condition.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Resolution of the common bile duct compression by an extrinsic gallbladder stone, with minimally invasive procedure such as single operator cholangioscopy, combined with lithotripsy
Time Frame: 2019-2020
Single operator cholangioscopy, combined with lithotripsy, will be use for treating patients with Mirizzi syndrome, while avoiding open surgery, and subsequent lesions to the biliary ducts. Post surgical morbidity will be assessed.
2019-2020
