Gallbladder anomalies, although rarely seen, can be a challenge to the surgeon. There are many cases in the literature in which double gallbladder has been missed at the first operation. A case in which accessory gallbladder was suspected, confirmed at the operation, and managed successfully by laparoscopic cholecystectomy is described. The lack of specific symptoms and findings and the inaccuracy of imaging methods may cause missed diagnoses. The laparoscopic surgeon should always be aware of this abnormality.
