Newest firstSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition characterized by a complete mirror-image reversal of the thoracic and abdominal organs. Although usually asymptomatic, SIT poses significant challenges during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures due to reversed anatomy. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard treatment of biliary and pancreatic ductal diseases, yet it becom…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition characterized by mirror-image transposition of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. Herein, we report a rare case of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with choledochotomy and stone extraction in a patient with SIT and a history of total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction. Case presentation A 70-year-old woman with SIT and…
Introduction and importance Laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration with cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis (SIT) is technically demanding and warrants comprehensive knowledge of the mirror image anatomy along with laparoscopic orientation of the left upper quadrant. Case presentation In this case report, we present a female patient who presented with pain in the left hypochondrium, ye…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction and importance Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT) is a rare condition characterized by the transposition of internal organs. Given the anatomical variations in SIT, surgeons must exercise extreme caution when performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy to avoid iatrogenic bile duct injury. Despite the high difficulty index associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in SIT, there is only one case report of com…
