Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Duplication.
Duplication of the gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the gallbladder, with an estimated prevalence of 1-3 per 3800 individuals. Unless properly diagnosed preoperatively, it can lead to biliary tract injuries and postoperative complications which may require reoperative surgeries. While previously reported cases have been treated with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), treatment with single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has not been reported yet. We herein present the case of a 58-year-old female with gallbladder duplication who was successfully treated with SILS cholecystectomy.
