A 65-year-old man with situs inversus was admitted with jaundice, nausea, and upper abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis of situs inversus totalis and revealed a large stone in the main bile duct with distal stenosis. The patient and endoscopist were positioned in the usual manner during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). As a result of the anat...
