Abstract
A novel approach to the management of Mirizzi''s syndrome due to a mucocele of the gallbladder is reported. Endoscopic retrograde catheterisation of the gallbladder permitted decompression, and was followed by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of gallbladder calculi in 80-year-old man considered unfit for operation.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
