Summary
A rare true left sided gallbladder (T-LSG) can be safely managed laparoscopically, even in emergencies. Experienced surgeons can minimize risks of bile duct injuries through careful dissection, without mandatory intra-operative cholangiography.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Gastroenterology
- Abdominal Surgery
- Laparoscopic Procedures
Background:
- A true left sided gallbladder (T-LSG) is a rare anatomical anomaly.
- It is often discovered incidentally during laparoscopic surgery.
- T-LSG can present surgical challenges and increase the risk of intraoperative injuries.
