Abstract
Duplication of Gallbladder
Highlights
Aberrant anatomy of biliary structures like duplication of gallbladder is one of the rare presentations occurring in 1:38004000 births [1]
These congenital anomalies pose a definite risk of biliary injury during operative interventions like laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice
Summary
Anatomical variations of gallbladder are being rare entity and duplication is one of the variants with two funds of gallbladder communication through a common channel cystic duct to the bile duct. Incidence of Gallbladder duplication has been reported 1:4000 in the literature. We report a case of incidental finding of gall bladder duplication during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis with both the fundus harbouring gallstones with a single cystic duct and two cystic arteries. Surgery was successful with both gallbladders removed and no postoperative complication reported. This case emphasises the need for removal of both the gallbladders in the same setting with recognition of possible vascular and biliary aberrant anatomy to avoid and complication during surgery
