چکیده

True left-sided gallbladder (sinistroposition) is a rare anatomic anomaly in which the gallbladder is found to the left of the falciform ligament, under the left lobe of the liver. Though uncommon, it is important for the surgeon to recognize this finding because the ductal anatomy is unique and the mechanics of the operation provide a technical challenge. Multiple case reports have documented safe management of sinistroposition encountered during conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present a case of sinistroposition encountered during a single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We believe that the single-site laparoscopic technique is not only a safe option but may actually provide certain benefits in approaching this difficult anatomy in the properly selected patient and the experienced single-site surgeon's hands.
