Abstract

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare and nonfatal congenital anomaly where there is a complete inversion of a patient's visceral organs. Throughout the patient's lifetime, they will encounter various challenges due to their unique anatomic variation. In this case, we report the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis in a 33-year-old female with comorbid SIT who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy without postoperative complications. Despite the added layer of complexity in her presentation, we were able to perform the cholecystectomy laparoscopically with slight modifications to better accommodate her anatomical mirroring. Modifications made in the form of bed positioning, trochar placement, and surgical team positioning prove that strategic operative planning is essential to optimizing outcomes for this unique patient population.
