  • Title: Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis.
    Author: Choi SI, Park SJ, Kang BM, Lee KY, Lee HC, Lee SH.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech; 2011 Apr; 21(2):e87-90. PubMed ID: 21471789.
    Abstract:
    Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a very rare condition. Laparoscopic surgery in a patient with SIT is difficult because the surgeon's dexterity is compromised during the procedure, and the patient's anatomy is the mirror image of normal. We present a SIT patient who underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. The detailed operative procedures and trocar placement considerations are described.
