title: Ectopic gallbladder: laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: An unusual case of ectopic retroplaced gall bladder is reported. In our patient, this congenital anomaly was detected on ultrasonography and confirmed by CT scan, MRCP, and ERCP. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed without complications. The importance of proper preoperative investigations is emphasized for accurate diagnosis, to rule out biliary tract anomalies, and to properly plan surgical approach and management.
