Abstract

Left-sided gall bladder (GB) without situs inversus is albeit recognized clinical entity. We report our experience of one case of left-sided GB in a 39-year-old male who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. Left-sided GB may provide an unusual surprise to the surgeons during laparoscopy as routine preoperative studies may not always detect this anomaly. Awareness of the unpredictable confluence of the cystic duct to common bile duct and selective use of intraoperative cholangiography aids in the safe laparoscopic management of this unusual entity.
