Abstract:
Mirizzi syndrome type IV, a rare and complex form of biliary obstruction, has traditionally required major open surgery. This case report describes a groundbreaking alternative: a 44-year-old woman successfully treated using a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.The less invasive procedure resulted in rapid, complication-free recovery, with no evidence of biliary stricture at the 6-month follow-up. This outcome challenges conventional management and demonstrates that a minimally invasive approach can be both feasible and highly effective in carefully selected patients.
