Implication

A case series demonstrates optimal outcomes in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with situs inversus totalis, indicating effective surgical techniques.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the safety and outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis using a modified surgical technique.
Retrospective review of 12 patients with situs inversus totalis who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Preoperative evaluations included hematology, liver function tests, ultrasonography, cardiac, and pulmonary assessments.
Surgeries performed under general anesthesia using a modified French technique.
Utilization of a harmonic scalpel for dissection in all cases.
Out of 5375 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, 12 were performed on patients with situs inversus totalis (0.22% prevalence).
All procedures were completed laparoscopically without conversion to open surgery.
One patient required port site modification for optimal clip application, while two underwent gallbladder decompression.
One patient developed postoperative ileus that resolved conservatively, with no intraoperative complications or mortalities.
