Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with situs inversus viscerum: a case report

J W Drover et al. Can J Surg. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

A patient with known situs inversus viscerum of the abdomen and congenital heart disease presented with symptomatic cholelithiasis in a left-sided gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was carried out successfully, despite the reversed anatomic relationships, and the patient made a smooth recovery. This is the first case report of a successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with a left-sided gallbladder.
