Abstract
Mirizzi syndrome is a rare complication of chronic calculous cholecystitis. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to the absence of pathognomonic signs and symptoms and low sensitivity rates of imaging tests. Historically, laparotomy has been the preferred choice of surgical management. Endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches have been increasingly described as diagnostic and therapeutic options for Mirizzi type I and II, but data is limited regarding the management of more complex cases. We describe a staged endoscopic and laparoscopic approach for the management of type IV Mirizzi syndrome and review the management options.
