Abstract:
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare defect of genetic predisposition. It may cause difficulties in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of abdominal pathology due to the mirror-image anatomy. We report the management of a case of symptomatic cholelithiasis with emphasis on its surgical technique combined with a review of the literature.
