Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2021 Nov 1:71:103016. doi: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.103016. eCollection 2021 Nov.

Abstract

Left-sided gallbladder (LSGB) is a rare anatomic variation that, while benign in the context of its transposition, is of significant intraoperative importance. Due to its association with other anatomic anomalies involving key structures in the hepatobiliary system, discovering it intraoperatively as opposed to preoperatively suddenly increases the difficulty of a gallbladder procedure.

Keywords: Gallbladder; Sinistroposition.
