Abstract

Laparoscopic treatment is a viable option for Mirizzi syndrome (MS) type I, but it is not recommended for MS type II (McSherry classification). We introduce laparoscopic transfistulous bile duct exploration (LTBDE) as a simplified standardized technique for MS type II. Eleven consecutive LTBDEs performed by a surgeon for MS type II were analyzed retrospectively, including three successful single-incision LTBDEs (SILTBDEs). Transfistulous stone removal followed by primary closure of gallbladder remnant and partial cholecystectomy was performed. An additional choledochotomy was required in one patient. Preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and operative findings confirmed the diagnosis of MS in five and five patients, respectively. Preoperative ultrasound implied the remaining diagnosis. The operative time was 270.5 ± 65.5 min. The stone clearance rate was 100 %. The postoperative length of hospital stay was 5.1 ± 2.2 days. There was no open conversion. Overall complications comprised two postoperative transient hyperamylasemia (18.2 %) and one superficial wound infection (9.1 %). Compared with the other group of 92 patients who underwent laparoscopic bile duct exploration, the MS type II group had a significantly younger age, a higher jaundice rate, a lower single-incision laparoscopic approach rate, a lower choledochotomy rate, longer operative time, a lower postoperative pethidine dose, and a longer total length of hospital stay. The average follow-up period was 12.1 months. LTBDE is safe and efficacious for MS type II including Csendes type IV. A high suspicion of MS is critical. SILTBDE is feasible in selected cases. Long-term follow-up is mandatory.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 March 2023.
All research outputs
#14,389,550
of 23,495,502 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#3,143
of 6,229 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,751
of 300,615 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#62
of 129 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,495,502 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,229 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,615 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 129 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
