ABSTRACT

We present a case report of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patient with Mirizzi's syndrome. A 48-year-old woman with symptomatic cholelithiasis underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the procedure we found an unexpected type I Mirizzi's syndrome. Meticulous dissection was needed to avoid injury to the biliary tract. The postoperative course was uncomplicated and she was discharged on the second postoperative day.
