Technical challenges in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus can be a technically challenging procedure.

We are presenting our experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in two patients with situs inversus and discuss the problems encountered during surgery and likely remedies.
