Abstract
Various congenital anomalies of the gall bladder related to its location, number, shape and size have been described in the literature but the most common among them is the variation in its position. The other anomalies are not common. An ectopic gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly of its position, which is usually missed on a preoperative workup and detected mostly during surgery. The entity is important because it causes difficulty during the procedure, and a knowledge can prevent serious post-operative complications including bile duct injury. Safe operating techniques including careful dissection of the gall bladder from the cystic plate, and division and lifting of the falciform ligament, reduces the chances of post-operative complications.
