A 65-year-old male diagnosed with Mirizzi syndrome with a bilio-biliary fistula was referred to our department and underwent single-incision laparoscopic surgery with an assistant trocar. As typical laparoscopic cholecystectomy could not be performed due to the coexistence of a bilio-biliary fistula, we performed laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy as a bail-out procedure according to the recommendation of the recent Tokyo Guidelines (TG18). The neck of the remnant gallbladder could be easily sutured with the effective use of an assistant trocar, and the surgery was completed without any complications.

Chronic lythiasic cholecystitis is a disease distinguished by the pathologic changes because of the chronic inflammation of the biliary extrahepatic tree. Sometimes these morphological changes are associated with internal biliary fistulas arising spontaneously in patients with advanced calculus cholecystitis. The vast majority of fistulas result from the adherence of the inflamed gallbladder or common bile duct to an adjacent viscus and erosion of the gallstones into the adherent organ.
