Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS) for Right Donor Nephrectomy in a Patient With Situs Inverses Totalis: A...

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition where the organs of the thorax and abdomen are arranged in a mirror image reversal of their normal position. Patients with SIT present unique challenges in surgical procedures, particularly in laparoscopic surgeries, due to the need to reverse the operator's perspective, technical difficulty in handling the instruments, anatomical variations, and an increased risk of intraoperative complications. In this case report, we present the first case in the English literature of a 49-year-old Arabic male patient with SIT who underwent a successful right laparoendoscopic single-site surgery donor nephrectomy. We described the surgical technique used and highlighted the key challenges faced and overcome during the procedure.
