Abstract

The goal of this retrospective study is to highlight the rarity of Mirizzi syndrome, which should not be omitted because this uncommon discovery can lead to iatrogenic post-operative complications, lowering patients' quality of life. Discussed below is an overview of twenty individuals treated with Mirizzi syndrome from 2013 to 2016All surgeries must be executed with expertise and prudence because an unexpected discovery of Mirizzi syndrome during an operation might make it more challenging to fix the anomaly. Using contemporary imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan will aid in early and accurate diagnosis. While a surgeon's caution will help prevent iatrogenic injury to the biliary system.
