Mirizzi syndrome is a rare disorder and remains a surgical challenge. It is generally considered as a contraindication to laparoscopic surgery. Three patients with Mirizzi type II syndrome and two patients with Mirizzi type I syndrome were treated laparoscopically. Partial cholecystectomy with fundus-first dissection of the gallbladder was performed, and closure of the fistula in type II syndrome was achieved over a T-tube. The common bile duct (CBD) was explored in one patient using a choledochoscope through the fistula. The procedure was completed laparoscopically in all five patients. The three patients with type II syndrome had residual CBD stones, which were associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Laparoscopic treatment of Mirizzi type I syndrome is technically feasible and safe. For Mirizzi type II syndrome, laparoscopic CBD exploration is demanding and experience, skill, and the full spectrum of modern technology are required.
