Summary: | Background
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for Mirizzi syndrome (MS) remains a technically challenging procedure with a high open conversion rate. We critically evaluated the impact of the systematic adoption of MI-HBP surgery on the surgical outcomes of MS.
Methods
Ninety-five patients who underwent surgery for MS were retrospectively reviewed. Systematic adoption of advanced MI-HBP surgery started in 2012. The cohort was classified into a preadoption (2002–2012) (Era 1,
n
= 58) and post-adoption (2013–2017) (Era 2,
n
= 37). Furthermore, Era 2 was divided into a cohort operated by advanced minimally invasive surgeons (AMIS) (Era 2 AMIS,
n
= 19) and those by other surgeons (Era 2 others,
n
= 19).
Results
Comparison between Era 2 and Era 1 demonstrated a significant increase in the frequency of MIS attempted (89% vs 33%,
