Introduction And Significance:
Situs inversus totalis is characterized by the complete transposition of thoracic and abdominal viscera. Individuals can live asymptomatically with this condition; however, it may be associated with certain abnormalities of the organs involved.
Case Presentation:
Herein, we present a case of a situs inversus totalis woman presented with choledocholithiasis. Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on the patient with intraoperative modifications. The patient was discharged in a healthy condition.
Clinical Discussion:
Several case reports have documented the typical presentation of cholelithiasis, which is characterized by pain in the left upper quadrant and epigastric region. Our patient exhibited similar symptoms and was diagnosed with choledocholithiasis.
Conclusions:
Diagnostic and therapeutic management of morbidities in SIT individuals can be performed with recommended modifications that can lead to favorable outcomes.
