  • Title: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with situs inversus viscerum: a case report.
    Author: Drover JW, Nguyen KT, Pace RF.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1992 Feb; 35(1):65-6. PubMed ID: 1531441.
    Abstract:
    A patient with known situs inversus viscerum of the abdomen and congenital heart disease presented with symptomatic cholelithiasis in a left-sided gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was carried out successfully, despite the reversed anatomic relationships, and the patient made a smooth recovery. This is the first case report of a successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with a left-sided gallbladder.
