Gallbladder volvulus, a rare condition often seen in the elderly, involves the gallbladder twisting on its mesentery. This case highlights the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy for this rare surgical emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Gallbladder torsion (volvulus) is an infrequent surgical emergency, with fewer than 300 cases reported since 1898.
  • This condition predominantly affects elderly patients and is characterized by the gallbladder twisting on a mobile mesentery.
  • The exact etiology remains unclear, but impaired blood and bile flow due to axial twisting is the primary pathology.
