Summary

Gallbladder duplication is a rare condition that can be missed during surgery, leading to long-term pain. Early consideration of this anomaly is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Gallbladder duplication poses diagnostic challenges, especially after cholecystectomy.
  • Missed diagnosis can lead to persistent symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic difficulties of gallbladder duplication.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering gallbladder anomalies in patients with persistent biliary symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a patient with a 16-year history of right upper quadrant pain post-cholecystectomy.
  • Review of diagnostic challenges and management strategies for gallbladder duplication.

Main Results:

  • A duplicated gallbladder was identified as the cause of the patient's prolonged symptoms.
  • Gallbladder duplication often evades preoperative visualization.

Conclusions:

  • Gallbladder duplication requires high clinical suspicion, particularly in patients with prior abdominal surgery.
  • Intraoperative cholangiography is recommended for difficult cases.
  • Consider gallbladder anomalies in patients with persistent biliary symptoms post-hepatobiliary procedures.
