Floating gallbladder, a rare variant, allows increased mobility and may predispose to torsion. This case highlights safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy despite diagnostic challenges, emphasizing meticulous surgical technique.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Anatomy
Background:
- Floating gallbladder is a rare anatomical variant with absent or attenuated hepatic attachment, leading to increased mobility.
- It is a predisposing factor for gallbladder torsion but often remains asymptomatic and is found incidentally.
- Preoperative diagnosis of floating gallbladder is challenging despite advances in imaging.
