Technical challenges in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus can be a technically challenging procedure. Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been described in patients with situs inversus, no standard technique has been described. We are presenting our experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in two patients with situs inversus and discuss the problems encountered during surgery and likely remedies.
