Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech. 2004 Jun;14(3):163-4. doi: 10.1097/01.sle.0000129386.69018.f7.

Abstract

Gallbladder triplication is an unusual congenital biliary malformation, and its laparoscopic management has not been described. We report the 11th case of gallbladder triplication and the first successfully treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We consider the procedure reliable and safe, after proper identification of the common biliary duct.
