Key Points

This report aims to demonstrate the challenges and strategies in performing laparoscopic biliary surgery on a patient with situs inversus totalis (SIT).
A 59-year-old female with SIT underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration using a three-port technique.
The procedure involved a 5-mm trocar for gallbladder retraction and choledochoscopic exploration, and a 10-mm port for resection maneuvers.
Postoperative care was managed with an emphasis on the patient's comorbidity of atrial fibrillation.
The procedure successfully cleared silt-like stones under choledochoscopic guidance.
Postoperative recovery was uncomplicated, with the patient discharged by postoperative day two.
The strategic trocar placement minimized surgical trauma and facilitated a tailored surgical approach.
