title: [Case report: laparoscopic cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration in a 60 year-old patient with situs inversus].
abstract: This is a case report of a 60 year-old male patient with acute cholecystitis and jaundice, unaware of having situs inversus. Patient underwent successfully laparoscopic cholecystectomy with bile duct exploration in spite of the unusual clinical situation. A literature review using Pubmed database, since 1989, in Spanish and English literature was performed. We found only two reports of cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration in patients with situs inversus. This is the first case reported in our country.
