Abstract

Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by transposition of organs to the opposite site of body. Diagnosis and treatment of cholelithiasis in such cases pose a challenge to operating surgeon because of unusual clinical picture and due to contralateral disposition of visceral organs. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in these patients is technically demanding still it is feasible in hands of experienced laparoscopic surgeon. Difficulty is encountered in skeletonizing the cystic duct and cystic artery in Calot's triangle, which increases intraoperative time
