“…True duplication arises from splitting of the cystic primordium during the 6th embryonic week [9,40]. Triple gallbladder has also been described [6,17,30]. The accessory gallbladder of the ductular type may be adjacent to the normal organ in the gallbladder fossa, or it may be intrahepatic, subhepatic, or within the gastrohepatic ligament [11].…”

“…In addition, multiple pathologies may exist. Roeder et al [16] reported a case of a triplicated gallbladder, where one had cholelithiasis and cholecystitis, a second had papillary adenocarcinoma, and a third was intrahepatic without disease. For these reasons, we agree a surgeon should endeavor to remove all gallbladders.…”

A 38-year-old male presented with painful obstructive jaundice. Ultrasound showed biliary dilatation and a duplicated gallbladder (DG). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) imaging confirmed the diagnosis of DG and raised the suspicion of a stricture in the distal common bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram, sphincterotomy with small stone extraction, and biliary stent placement were accomplished, and the patient was transferred to our tertiary center. Given the report of a stricture, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was repeated and showed no duct narrowing or persistent choledocholithiasis, but only one cystic duct and gallbladder filled. The patient subsequently underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy using top-down technique with complete resection of both gallbladders. Postoperatively, the patient underwent another ERCP for elevated bilirubin due ampullary edema. Subsequently, his bilirubin normalized and he was discharged home on postoperative day 5. DG is a rare anatomical finding that may be associated with choledocholithiasis and cholecystitis. In this case, a combination of radiographic, endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures was utilized to resolve the patient's clinical problem.

“…Die häufigsten Beschwerden sind wie beim unkomplizierten Gallensteinleiden kolikartige Schmerzen; Steine werden aber meist nur in einer Gallenblase gefunden [1,23]. Darüber hinaus gibt es Fallbeschreibungen, bei denen die Doppelgallenblase mit einem Empyem [24], einer chronischen Cholezystitis [25],…”

Treatment of Double Gallbladder: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Background: Double gallbladder is rare anomaly of the biliary tract. It can cause severe complications if not recognized preoperatively or during operation. Laparoscopic management of double gallbladder originating from the left hepatic duct was previously reported only once in the literature. Case Report: The case of a patient who required repeat laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of second symptomatic gallbladder is reported. An accessory gallbladder with gallstones was confirmed on preoperative ultrasound, magnetic resonance and endoscopic retrograde cholangiograms. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cholangiography was successfully performed. Conclusions: The types of gallbladder anomalies, the concomitant pathology, and the double gallbladder treatment options are discussed. Overlooking an accessory gallbladder can result in recurrent symptoms postoperatively, necessitating further surgery. Detailed preoperative and intraoperative investigations of bile ducts are required for successful laparoscopic removal of the second gallbladder.
