Summary: | SITUSinversus totalis is uncommon anatomic anomaly, with gallbladder on the left side} Since the first known laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with situs inversus has been reported by Camposand Sipes in 1991,2 there have been only approximately 40 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in patients with situs inversus reported in the published literatures.3' 4 These cases may cause difficulties in the diagnostic and therapeutic management due to the mirror-image anatomy during operation, which requires more technically procedures and needs reorientation of visuomotor skills to the left upper quadrant. We herein discuss technical and diagnostic difficulties and review the literatures. |
