The Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an impacted stone in the cystic duct or Hartmann's pouch that mechanically obstructs the common bile duct (CBD). We would like to report laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (SC) and resection of cholecystocolic fistula by the help of Tri-Staple™ in a case with type V MS and cholecystocolic fistula, for first time in the literature. A 24-year-old man was admitted to emergency department with the complaint of abdominal pain, intermittent fever, jaundice, and diarrhea. Two months ago with the same complaint, ERCP was performed. Laparoscopic resection of cholecystocolic fistula and subtotal cholecystectomy were performed by the help of Tri-Staple. At the eight-month follow-up, he was symptom-free with normal liver function tests. In a patient with type V MS and cholecystocolic fistula, laparoscopic resection of cholecystocolic fistula and SC can be performed by using Tri-Staple safely.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic cholecystitis and cholangitis can lead to a rare complication known as a cholecystocolic fistula, which is hard to detect without advanced imaging techniques.
  • Patients often come to the emergency room with acute abdominal pain, which can be linked to these chronic conditions.
  • The case discussed illustrates that chronic cholecystitis may exhibit complications even in the absence of symptoms like bile duct obstruction (cholestasis) or infection.

Cholecystoduodenal and cholecystocolic fistula (CCF) is a rare condition, occurring in patients with cholelithiasis. Multiple complex fistulas are even rare. This is a case study done to detail such a rare case, very few such cases have been reported in the past studies, with cholecystoduodenal and CCF with gallstone ileus.

Biliary fistula is a rare (less than 8%) cholecystectomy complication, internal fistulae being the most common of them (mainly colonic and duodenal). However, the presence of two fistulas at the same time is extremely rare, with a small number of cases reported in the literature to date. Symptoms tend to be non-specific, leading to a difficult preoperative diagnosis.

Bilioenteric fistulae are rare and difficult to manage complications of chronic cholecystitis. While cholecystoduodenal and cholecystocolic fistulae are more common, a cholecystoappendiceal fistula is an extremely rare finding. We report the presentation and operative management of a 59-year-old male with cholecystoappendiceal fistula and associated abscess in the gallbladder fossa.
