Background: Mirizzi syndrome is one possible complication of the gallstones. The incidence in patients treated with cholecystectomy is 0.7-1.1%.
Materials And Methods: We have analyzed on 4123 colecistectomie conduct in Unit of General Surgery and Organ Transplantation of the University of Parma from January 1992 to October 2006, 46 cases of syndrome of Mirizzi (1.1%) with age comprised between 29-82 years (medium 67.8 years) were 28 women (60.9%) and 18 men (39.1%). We have considered the symptomatology, the diagnostic and therapeutic way, the comorbidity.
Results: In 19 cases (41.3%) there were the signs of acute cholecystitis; in 28 cases (60.9%) the clinical picture was characterized from repeated biliary pain. The jaundice was present in 29 cases (63%) with hyperpyrexia (>38 degrees) in 27 cases (58.7%). In 14 cases (30.4%) was a Mirizzi type I, in 32 cases (69.6%) a Mirizzi of type II.
Conclusions: The Mirizzi syndrome is a diagnosis frequently conduct intraoperatively. The surgical therapy is characterized by the acknowledgment of the biliary structures, the complete removal of the stones, the surgical therapy of the leaks.

Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder stones, but occasionally needs to be converted to open surgery due to intra-operative difficulties, with conversion rates ranging from 1% to 13%.
- A study conducted in India analyzed factors such as age, gender, and ultrasound findings in 93 gallstone patients to predict the likelihood of needing this conversion.
- Key predictors for conversion included the presence of acute cholecystitis, multiple previous gallbladder attacks, and certain ultrasound results indicating a contracted gallbladder.

Mirizzi syndrome is a rare complication of chronic gallstone disease characterised by the compression of the common bile duct due to an impacted lithiasis in the infundibulum of the gallbladder or cystic duct. In this case study, we discuss an 85-yearold patient who presented with Mirizzi syndrome associated with septic shock. She was not eligible for cholecystectomy due to her advanced age and frailty, requiring a less invasive alternative.
