Abstract
Situs inversus totalis is a rare anomaly characterized by transposition of organs to the opposite side of thorax and abdomen to form a mirror-image anatomy. These patients pose a technical challenge for surgeons even for commonly performed surgical procedures. We report a patient with situs inversus totalis for whom we performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the treatment of cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis. Diagnostic problems and technical difficulties faced by us during procedure are discussed along with experience of other authors available in the literature.
