Ectopic gallbladder (GB) is a rare entity with an incidence of <1%. True left‑sided GB (LSG), i.e., GB seen
under the left lobe of the liver and to the left of the falciform ligament, presents as a surgical problem on
table, due to its unusual presentation and lack of findings on imaging. What we may perceive as an LSG on
the table, may in fact be a normally located GB under the right lobe but with the ligamentum teres being
attached to the right lobe, giving the appearance of a left‑sided gallbladder. Here, we are presenting a
case of a true LSG which was discovered on table. By minimizing the use of electrocautery and placing an
additional port along with the traditional ports in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, we were able to perform
a successful cholecystectomy. |
