Abstract

Mirizzi syndrome refers to a gallstone impacted in the gallbladder neck and this exerts pressure on the adjacent common hepatic duct, which produces inflammatory stricture and eventual penetration of its lumen. Making the preoperative diagnosis of Mirrizzi syndrome is very important. But if it cannot be diagnosed before an operation, intraoperative recognition is also important for surgeons. We experienced two patients who were diagnosed with this syndrome at the time of operation.
