Abstract
We report a case in which a patient, with acute cholecystitis with a left-sided gallbladder was treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Transposition of the gallbladder to the left side without situs inversus viscerum is rare. These gallbladders are situated under the left lobe of the liver between Segment III and IV or on Segment III to the left of the falciform ligament. A-27-year old man underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. In this instance, successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, and the patient recovered uneventfully because of try to keep to get a good view of the operative field, we added a port. We describe this case and discuss the key procedures for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a left-sided gallbladder from our experience and a review of the relevant literature.
