- Abstract
Gallstone disease is one of the commonest surgical ailments handled globally. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis. One of the rare anomalies of hepatobiliary system is situs inversus totalis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second time that we encountered the symptomatic cholethiasis in a female patient, where- in laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed with uneventful results. We present it as a rare case report with a special mention to the technique used therein.
