Laparoscopic appendectomy in an adult patient with situs inversus totalis

Left-sided appendicitis is usually caused by situs inversus totalis or midgut malrotation. Clinical and imaging diagnoses have been presented relatively fully in the literature. However, this is a rare condition, and each related case should be further reported to help the day-to-day clinician bette...

description Left-sided appendicitis is usually caused by situs inversus totalis or midgut malrotation. Clinical and imaging diagnoses have been presented relatively fully in the literature. However, this is a rare condition, and each related case should be further reported to help the day-to-day clinician better investigate and understand. Therefore, in this paper, we present a case of left-sided acute appendicitis in an adult male patient with situs inversus totalis. In addition, we also discuss the laparoscopic technique of the left-sided appendectomy as it is technically more difficult because of the mirror nature of the anatomy.
