Abstract
A left-sided gallbladder is a rare condition which may be associated with several anomalies of the biliary tract and portal system. The routine preoperative ultrasound is not able to identify this ectopic gallbladder and thus the diagnosis is practically made during surgery. A 47-year-old male patient went to the hospital reporting that he began to feel colic pain in the epigastrium, after fatty feeding and associated with nausea and vomiting. The ultrasonography showed only changes in the gallbladder wall and the CT scans images the presence of lithiasis in the gallbladder. In the surgery, after the release of these adhesions, we visualized the gallbladder located on the left lobe of the liver and we performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The postoperative evolution was satisfactory without complications. The patient received hospital discharge in good clinical conditions, with the recommendation to stay in outpatient follow-up. Keywords: Left-sided gallbladder, Aberrant gallbladder, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Sinistroposition of the gallbladder.
