Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...

Area of Science:

Surgical Anatomy
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

True left-sided gallbladder (sinistroposition) is a rare congenital anomaly.
Recognizing sinistroposition is crucial due to unique ductal anatomy and surgical challenges.

Observation:

This report details a case of sinistroposition managed with single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy has documented safe management of this anomaly.

Findings:

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible option for sinistroposition.
This technique may offer advantages in managing this complex anatomical variation.

Implications:

Highlights the adaptability of single-incision laparoscopy for rare surgical conditions.
Emphasizes the importance of pre-operative recognition and surgeon experience in managing sinistroposition.
