“…The gallbladder is defined as left-sided when it is located to the left of the falciform ligament between Segments III and IV [ 3 ]. There are three recognized variants of LSGB as follows: (i) associated with situs inversus, (ii) true LSGB and (iii) a gallbladder located to the left of an anomalous round ligament [ 1 ].…”

True left-sided gallbladder (LSGB) is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.1–1.2%. It is more common in women than in men at a ratio of 5:1. Its etiology is unknown, although several theories have been proposed. The symptoms are similar to those of a normal gallbladder, which makes the preoperative diagnosis difficult despite imaging studies. In most cases, the diagnosis is achieved intraoperatively. LSGB is associated with biliary anomalies, and the incidence of biliary tract lesions is high. Four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure for LSGB. Surgical technique varies according to each case. Preoperative imaging studies have low sensitivity for diagnosis, and the surgeon should be familiar with ductal and vascular anatomical variants in addition to possessing the ability to change the conventional surgical technique to optimize the exposure and minimize the risk of bile duct injury.

“…A left-sided gallbladder was detected only in 6 cases out of 10 016 examinations. The reported prevalence in the literature ranges between 0.04% and 0.3%, with more than 100 cases [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The left-sided gallbladder must be located to the left of the falciform ligament, beneath the left lobe of the liver and between segments III and IV or on segment III [1].…”

A Rare Case of a Left-sided Gallbladder Accompanied with an Aplastic Cystic Duct in a Patient with Acute Cholecystitis

Congenital defects/diseases Background: A left-sided gallbladder without situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly of the gallbladder with a prevalence ranging from 0.04-0.3%. Case Repost: We present a case of a female patient, referred to our clinic with clinical features of an acute cholecystitis. After performing the standard preoperative investigations, which confirmed the diagnosis, the patient underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We found a left-sided gallbladder, attached to the lower surface of the left lobe of the liver. During the dissection in the Callot triangle an aplastic cystic duct was also identified. The extirpation of the gallbladder was performed anterograde, allowing a better exposition of the critical structures. Conclusions: A left sided gallbladder is almost an incidental finding, which can be accompanied with further anomalies of the biliary tree. A combination of these 2 variations is very rare without any other reported cases in the literature.
