Abstract

Situs viscerium inversus gall bladder located in left lobe of the liver (LSG- woSVI) is a rare congenital anomaly. This condition is mostly detected during surgery and therefore causes technical difficulties. Our case is 55 year old female patient with complaints of indigestion and bloating. In the ultrasound (USG) image, there were multıple Stones, the largest of which was 1 cm in diamater. However, left lobe localization could not be detected on imaging. On laparoscopy, it was observed that the falciform ligament was adhered to the left side under segment III. Our patient did not have total situs inversus. In oerder to avoid complications, unlike classical cholecystectomy, artery and duct clipping is an important detail after dissection of the gall bladder from the antegrade liver bed before clipping the cystic artery and cystic duct. In this case, we successfully performed laparoscopic antegrade cholecystectomy. We discharged the patient on post op day one without any problem.
